Fort de la Corne
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fort de la Corne was built in 1753 by Louis de la Corne, Chevalier de la Corne at the same time that the second Fort Paskoya was built. It was built a little lower than the forks of the two Saskatchewans, a new establishment which originally bore the name of Fort des Prairies. Fort de la Corne has also been known at different dates as Fort St. Louis and Nippeween.
The Hudson Bay Company built its Fort-a-la-Corne a few miles from original fort in 1846. This fort became linked to the Carlton Trail by a side route called Fort a la Corne Trail in the Saskatchewan Valley.
