The Forges du Saint-Maurice ("St. Maurice Ironworks") was the first successful ironworking industry in New France. At the time of the initial formation of the forges in 1730, the Saint Maurice region near Trois-Rivières had long been known for its iron resources. Although the forges went through multiple managements, they were unable to turn a profit on their own and owners had to deal with heavy debts. The French colonial state finally took direct control of the forges after the second private company went bankrupt, and managed it until the British arrival in the 1760s. In 1973 the forges were converted into a national historical site. The plant produced such staple items as pots, pans and stoves.

  • Les Forges Saint-Maurice furent le premier établissement industriel au Canada. On y fabriquait de la fonte et du fer pour tous les usages du temps. Elles étaient situées sur la rive sud-ouest de la rivière Saint-Maurice, au nord de la ville de Trois-Rivières. Établies en 1730, ces forges ont fonctionné durant plus de 150 ans au cours du XVIIIe siècle et du XIXe siècle. Elles furent reconnues comme lieu historique national le 28 octobre 1919. (fr)
