About

Initially founded by a small group of French colonists in 1713, Louisbourg quickly became a thriving community around its large natural port. It was the centre of French power in the Atlantic region, home to one of thelargest military garrisons in New France, an important economic and cultural crossroads, and a major hub for fishing and trading ships from around the world. Captured by the British in 1758, Louisbourg was eventually abandoned in 1768. Today, it is considereda National Historical Site, known for laying the foundation for the country that would one day be called Canada.
