Fort Dauphin, French trading post in Winnipegosis, Canada
Fort Dauphin stands at the mouth of the Mossy River where it meets Lake Winnipegosis in Manitoba, serving as a central trading location.
Pierre Gaultier de La Vérendrye directed the construction of Fort Dauphin in 1741, establishing a strategic point between the Assiniboine and Saskatchewan Rivers.
The fort facilitated commerce between European fur traders and Indigenous groups, leading to the development of Winnipegosis as a regional center.
The designated National Historic Site contains wooden structures and archaeological remains that showcase the original construction methods of the trading post.
The fort relocated further upriver in 1743 following attacks, yet maintained its function as a vital trading hub in the Manitoba region.
