Fort Lévis, a fortification on the St. Lawrence River, was built in 1759 by the French. They had decided that Fort de La Présentation was insufficient to defend their St. Lawrence River colonies against the British. Named for François Gaston de Lévis, Duc de Lévis, the fort was constructed on Isle Royale, 3 miles (4.8 km) downstream from the other fort. The fort surrendered after intense bombardment in August 1760 to the British and was renamed Fort William Augustus. The fort was abandoned in 1766. During the construction of the Saint Lawrence Seaway, the remains of the fort were destroyed and submerged beneath the waters of the river.

Le fort Lévis fut construit sur l'île Royale, située sur le Saint-Laurent et à cinq kilomètres du Fort de La Présentation. Le fort fut nommé Lévis en l'honneur du Maréchal de camp, François Gaston de Lévis, devenu ensuite Maréchal de France. En août 1760, le fort fut pris par les Anglais, commandé par l'officier Jeffery Amherst, lors de la Bataille des Mille-Îles. Le fort fut reconstruit sous le nom de Fort William Augustus, mais en 1950, il fut partiellement détruit lors de l'aménagement de la Voie maritime du Saint-Laurent. Les ruines submergées sont englouties près de la ville de Ogdensburg dans l'État de New York. (fr)
