History

Grand Portage, or "the great carrying place," Gichi Onigamiing, was a meeting point for centuries and part of an extensive Native American trading network well before the first French trader arrived in 1731. Although the French formally ceded the territory to the British in 1759, English was rarely heard there before the 1790s.
