    Fort Carillon (Ticonderoga)

    Fort Carillon was built in 1755 on the orders of the governor of New France, Pierre de Rigaud de Vaudreuil. Situated at the junction of Lake George and Lake Champlain, the fort was intended to reinforce France's military presence in an area contested by the British colonies. In 1759, Fort Carillon was abandoned by the French and renamed Fort Ticonderoga by the British. (See Seven Years’ War.) Fort Ticonderoga later played a decisive role in the American Revolution. Since 1909, this historic site has been open to the public.

    Fort Victoria

    Fort Victoria was a fur trade post established in 1843 by Hudson’s Bay Company chief factor Sir James Douglas, who also served as its second governor (1858–62) and would eventually be known as the “Father of British Columbia”. The Fraser River Gold Rush of 1858 led to the rapid development of the townsite. In 1862, Victoria – the province’s capital – was incorporated as a city and the last of Fort Victoria was fully dismantled. In 1924 Fort Victoria was designated a National Historic Site of Canada.

    Fort William

    Fort William, named after North West Company (NWC) chief superintendent William McGillivray, was originally a depot built in 1803 by the NWC to facilitate fur trade dealings. The company’s reliance on Fort William after merging with the Hudson’s Bay Company eventually decreased, and the fort became a post and fishing spot until its closure in 1883. By 1902, the Fort William’s last remaining buildings were completely demolished in the expansion of the Canadian Pacific Railway’s facilities. In 1971, the government of Ontario recreated Fort William at Pointe de Meuron in Thunder Bay under the name Fort William Historical Park.
