Fort Ste. Therese was built in 1665 on the point southeast beyond the canal by M. de Salieres. It was one of the forts constructed on the Richelieu by the Carignan Regiment for defence against the Iroquois and served as the starting point of the expedition of 1666. In June 1760, Major Robert Rogers burned the fortified post.
