N.B. Unfortunately, Termium, a Canadian database, only has "border officer/agent", not "border office"... but it's close...

Barbara, The Wikipedia page about Fort Chipewyan says: "It was established as a ***trading post*** by Peter Pond of the North West Company in 1788." - which is close to your "1785" date (is it about Peter Pond?). Maybe your source text is incorrect. Then you should contact the customer...

..."Recognized as Alberta's oldest community, Fort Chipewyan is located on the extreme northwestern tip of Lake Athabasca and traces its roots to a North West Company trading post built there in 1788."
