Fort Saint Antoine, French trading post on Lake Pepin, Wisconsin, United States.
Fort Saint Antoine operated as a fortified wooden structure at the intersection of major waterways, enabling control of regional fur trade networks.
Nicholas Perrot established Fort Saint Antoine in 1686, declaring French sovereignty over territories west of the Great Lakes in the name of Louis XIV.
The fort served as a meeting point between French traders and Dakota Sioux communities, facilitating exchanges of fur pelts and European goods.
The structure measured sixty by forty-five feet and stood seventy feet from Lake Pepin's highest water mark, according to an 1855 survey.
The site remains marked by a historical marker south of Stockholm, Wisconsin, commemorating its role in early French colonial expansion.
