A trading post was established in 1722, with a log palisade, and New York governor William Burnet ordered a fort built at the site in 1727. The fort established a British presence on the Great Lakes. During the French and Indian War, this fort was captured and destroyed by the French, in 1756. The site is now included in the city of Oswego, New York.
