This article is about the American entrepreneur. For other uses, see John Healy (disambiguation).
John Healy was an American entrepreneur in the late 19th century. Originally from Montana, he and Alfred B. Hamilton established a whiskey trading post near present-day Lethbridge, Alberta in 1869. The post was originally named after Hamilton, but was later renamed to Fort Whoop-Up.
After they sold the fort to Dave Akers in 1876, Healy moved to the Yukon to operate a transportation company during the Klondike Gold Rush.
Healy died and was buried in Montana.
