History
The Port Simpson District was created from part of the British Columbia District in 1881. Upon the creation of the B.C. Conference in 1887, Port Simpson became one of four districts of the Conference. For the period 1897-1900, a portion of Port Simpson District was named Bella Bella District, and from 1900-1907, the entire area was known as Indian District. In 1914 a small portion of Port Simpson District became the new Prince George District, later the Hazelton District.
