In 1784, Loyalists settled in the area, followed by German immigrants. However, Fort Erie - originally a French trading post and later a British fort - had been guarding this strategic location since 1764. In 1931, the village, located near the British fort of the same name, merged with the town of Bridgeburg and became the town of Fort Erie. Two of the original forts were destroyed by the ice of Lake Erie and the mighty Niagara River; a third was partially destroyed in 1814 by American soldiers. The forest and grounds were restored between 1937 and 1939 and are now under the jurisdiction of the Niagara Parks Commission.
