Fort Le Boeuf, Military fort in Waterford, US
The fort stood at a strategic location on French Creek, with wooden structures, high bastions, and cannons positioned near the water's edge.
Captain Paul Marin de la Malgue initiated construction of Fort Le Boeuf on July 11, 1753, establishing French control over the Ohio Country region.
The Fort Le Boeuf Historical Society maintains several heritage sites, including the French and Indian Museum with artifacts from the colonial period.
The fort's position, approximately 15 miles from Lake Erie, facilitated the transportation of supplies between the Great Lakes and the Ohio River system.
George Washington visited Fort Le Boeuf in 1753 to deliver Governor Dinwiddie's message, marking his first diplomatic mission before the French and Indian War.
