The Fort Albany reserve originated as an important Hudson's Bay Company trading post. The reserve boundaries were described in the James Bay Treaty of 1905 - Treaty No. 9.During the 1950's, old Fort Albany was abandoned and the people separated into two distinct communities. New Fort Albany is largely a Roman Catholic community, situated on the south shore of the Albany River and on Sinclair Island. The second community, Kashechewan is predominantly Anglican and is situated on the north bank of the Albany River.
