Fort Duquesne. =)
Fort Duquesne was built in 1754 and was controlled by New France. On November 25, 1758, the Forbes Expedition captured the site for the British. The British then built a much bigger fort and called it Fort Pitt.
If you are referring to Fort Duquesne, it was built in 1754 at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, where they form the Ohio River in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.

In the American colonies, the Seven Years' War was known as the French and Indian War, which began with the building of French forts in the Ohio Valley. Virginia militia troops under George Washington clashed with French troops near Fort Duquesne (1754). Washington was again involved in the defeat of British troops under General Braddock at the Battle of the Monongahela (1755), while clashes between the British and French at sea led to European war declarations in 1756.(see related question)
