It was amongst a few French forts in the area later known as Englishtown: Simon Denys' Fort 1650 - 1659 and Fort Dauphin 1713-1745. Fort Saint Anne was also the name of settlement at Isle La Motte on Lake Champlain (in modern day Vermont), established in 1666 by French missionaries. Fort Albany, in northern Ontario (On James Bay and the mouth of the Albany River) was named Fort St Anne during the French occupation of the Hudson's Bay Company outpost of Albany Post (or Albany Fort) from 1686-1692. Today is home to 1,400 residents and the nearby Fort Albany First Nations reserve. External links *Ontario Forts - Page 2 - Fort Albany
