Fort Erie

Fort Erie occupies the Canadian bank of the Niagara River where it leaves Lake Erie in southern Ontario. Across the water lies Buffalo, New York, and the Peace Bridge carries road traffic between the two countries, making the town an important border crossing. Old Fort Erie preserves the site of a British fort first built in 1764; it was the scene of the 1814 siege and Battle of Fort Erie during the War of 1812. The riverfront and nearby Lake Erie shoreline give the community its open, waterside character, while local history is inseparable from the international frontier.
