==Origins==
Fort Ware's origins are as a trading post of the Hudson's Bay Company and as a still-older native community into which the company introduced its wares as well as commercial trapping, still a mainstay of life in the region. The aboriginal people of Fort Ware are part of the Kwadacha First Nation, which is part of the Kaska Dena. Fort Ware was relocated from its original location due to the flooding of the lower Finlay Valley by Lake Williston in the late 1960s.
Fort Ware was named after William Ware, from Manchester, England. He had a son named Joseph Ware who also worked for Hudson's Bay. William portaged across Canada to set up Telegraph Creek Trading Post. Along his travels he met and hunted with Louis Riel.
