Fort Pointe-aux-Trembles, 17th century French fort in Montreal, Canada.
Fort Pointe-aux-Trembles stood on the eastern edge of Montreal Island, protecting settlements along the Saint Lawrence River against potential attacks.
Constructed in 1670, the fortification included a mill and chapel, serving as the second parish established on Montreal Island under Sulpician administration.
The fort's presence led to the formation of a permanent settlement, transforming the area into a structured community with land titles issued in 1693.
The fort's strategic location near the Saint Lawrence River provided control over water routes and facilitated the development of the Chemin du Roy road.
The fort site now forms part of Park Fort-de-Pointe-aux-Trembles, marking the location where Montreal's eastern defense point operated until 1760.
