An Entity of Type: military structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Fort Chécagou, or Fort Chicago, was a purported seventeenth-century fort that may have been located in what is now northeastern Illinois. The name has become associated with a myth that the French continuously maintained a military garrison at a fort near the mouth of the Chicago River, and the future site of the city of Chicago on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan. Some sources mention that the fort was built in 1685, and that Henri de Tonti sent his aide, Pierre-Charles de Liette, as commander of the fort through 1702. Although this fort was marked on a number of eighteenth century maps of the area, there is no evidence that it ever existed at the described location, but may have instead actually been located at the mouth of the St. Joseph River, on the southeastern shore of Lake M

  • Le fort Chécagou, parfois appelé « fort Chicago » , était un fort des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles situé à l'extrémité nord-est de ce qui est aujourd'hui l'État de l'Illinois (sur l'emplacement actuel de la ville de Chicago), en bordure du lac Michigan. Il existe deux mentions de ce fort, qui apparut sur plusieurs cartes de l'époque : le fort fut construit en 1685, et Henri de Tonti envoya Pierre-Charles de Liette comme commandant du fort jusqu'en 1702. D'autres sources cherchent à discréditer le fait que le fort ait existé. (fr)
