Fort La Baye, French military fort in La Baye, United States.
Fort La Baye extended along the western bank of the Fox River, serving as a strategic military position for controlling regional waterways.
Constructed in 1717, Fort La Baye functioned as a French military post until 1760, when British forces gained control following the Seven Years War.
The fort area became a meeting point for French-Canadian families, Native American tribes, and Métis communities who established trading relationships.
Visitors can locate the former fort site at the coordinates 44.305°N and 88.0058°W in present-day Green Bay, Wisconsin.
During the Sauk and Fox War of 1733, the fort witnessed a significant battle that resulted in the deaths of two French officers' sons.
