Fort Mississauga National Historic Site is a fort on the shore of Lake Ontario, at the mouth of the Niagara River in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada. The fort today consists of a box–shaped brick tower and historic star–shaped earthworks. The all–brick fort was built from 1814–1816 during the War of 1812, to replace nearby Fort George. It was built on a foundation of brick and stone salvaged from rubble left after retreating United States forces burned the nearby town of Newark (as Niagara-on-the-Lake was known then) in December, 1813. It would help in the defence of Upper Canada the following year, as part of a regional network that included Fort George, Navy Hall, and Butler's Barracks. However, the fort would not be completed until after the war.

  • Le fort Mississauga est un ancien fort militaire situé sur la rive du lac Ontario à Niagara-on-the-Lake, non loin de la rivière Niagara. Construit en 1814 pendant la guerre anglo-américaine de 1812, il a été reconnu en 1960 en tant que lieu historique national du Canada. En 1804, un phare avait été érigé sur le site, connu sous le nom de Mississauga Point. L'armée britannique a utilisé le fort de 1813 à 1855, suivie par l'armée canadienne, qui l'a utilisé comme camp d'entrainement. (fr)
