Fort La Tour was built on this site in 1631 by Charles de La Tour, a historical crossroads for First Nations peoples, French settlers and British traders. La Tour's wife, Francoise-Marie Jacquelin defended the Fort against rival Charles de Menou D'Aulnay during his absence in 1645, a story of intrigue and treachery. She is one of the most remarkable women in Acadia's early history.
