Fort La Reine was built in 1738 and is one of the forts of the western expansion directed by Pierre Gaultier de Varennes et de La Vérendrye, first military commander in the west of what is now known as Canada. Located on the Assiniboine River where present day Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, stands, the fort served as a fur trading post. It was also the base of operations for much exploration north and west. From Fort La Reine, explorers made their way to Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipegosis, Lake Winnipeg and the Saskatchewan River.

  • Fort la Reine était situé au sud-ouest de l'emplacement de l'actuelle ville de Portage La Prairie au Manitoba. Le fort d'origine fut construit en 1738 par l'explorateur français Pierre Gaultier, sieur de La Vérendrye et ses deux fils sur la rive nord de la rivière Assiniboine sur le long de la piste . Le nom du fort est choisi en l'honneur de l'épouse de Louis XV, Marie Leszczynska. Le fort servira de quartier-général pendant les treize années qu'il explora le territoire. En 1852 un groupe d'indiens Cris incendièrent le fort. Une stèle a été érigée sur le site du fort original. (fr)
