In 1666, the French built a fort on Isle La Motte, to protect New France from the Iroquois.

[2] Lieutenant Général Alexandre de Prouville de Tracy, who had been sent to New France to end the threat of the Iroquois to the colony had the forts built by soldiers of the Carignan-Salières Regiment.

600 soldiers, 600 volunteers, and 100 Wendat and Algonquins rendezvoused at Fort Ste.

The French burned the villages and the surrounding fields then returned to Fort Sainte Anne.
