Moberly Lake Named After Fur Trader’s Alpine Trek
The 1865 voyage of Henry John Moberly, ex Hudson’s Bay employee, led him from Fraser Lake to the Peace River district and the site of a large lake that now bears his name. He joined free traders, invested twelve hundred dollars, then settled west of the lake to hunt, trap, and fish for three years until 1868.
