History of Charlottetown : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of Charlottetown
The History of Charlottetown can be traced back to the original French military settlement established on the site in 1720. Over the years it has grown to become the largest and most important city on Prince Edward Island. ==1720–1758==
The first European settlers in the area were French; personnel from Fortress Louisbourg founded a settlement in 1720 named ''Port La Joye'' on the southwestern part of the harbour opposite the present-day city. This settlement was led by Michel Haché-Gallant, who used his sloop to ferry Acadian settlers from Louisbourg. During King George's War, the British had taken over the island. French officer Ramezay sent 500 men to attack the British troops in the Battle at Port-la-Joye. The French were successful in killing or taking prisoner forty British troops.〔(Historical Biographies, Nova Scotia: Charles des Champs de BoishĂŠbert (1729-1797) )〕 In August 1758, at the height of the Seven Years' War, a British fleet took control of the settlement and the rest of the island, promptly deporting those French settlers that they could find (this being fully three years after the original Acadian Expulsion in Nova Scotia). British forces built ''Fort Amherst'' near the site of the abandoned ''Port La Joye'' settlement to protect the entrance to the harbour.
