Fort Duquesne
The earliest parts of the French and Indian War focused on an area called the Forks of the Ohio, where Fort Duquesne was built at the junction of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers. The site is now Point State Park in downtown Pittsburgh, PA.
The fort was named after Marquis Michel-Ange Duquesne de Menneville, a French naval officer and governor of New France from 1752 to 1758. He played a significant role in the French and Indian War, overseeing military operations in North America. Fort Duquesne, located at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, was established by the French as a strategic stronghold against British expansion.
