The French built Fort St. Charles in the early 18th century primarily to establish a strategic military presence in the region and to secure their territorial claims in North America. It served as a protective outpost and a base for trade, particularly in the fur industry, which was vital for the French economy. Additionally, the fort aimed to defend against rival colonial powers, such as the British and Spanish, and to facilitate relations with Indigenous tribes.
