Fort Niagara Built

Fort Niagara Built

1726


France erected Fort Niagara, also known as the “French Castle”, on the east side of the Niagara River at Lake Ontario. The fort was built to protect its interests in North America and control access between the river and the lake. It was one of three forts that France had built at this site since 1679.
