Lacolle, Quebec

==History==
The written history of Lacolle can be traced back to July 4, 1609 when Samuel de Champlain and his entourage stopped briefly at the mouth of a small stream for a meal before continuing southward up the Richelieu River into the lake which now bears his name. In his journal, Champlain referred to the location of the delta as "Lacole". When translated literally, the term means the neck of a bottle or that which is above the shoulders.
Lacolle was the site of three battles in the early 19th Century. Two of the battles took place during the War of 1812. The Battle of Lacolle Mills (1812) was a short engagement in which a small garrison of Canadien Militia, with the assistance of Kahnawake Mohawk warriors, defended a makeshift log blockhouse from an American invasion force led by Major General Henry Dearborn.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mywarof1812.com/battles/121120-lacolle-mills/ )〕 In the Battle of Lacolle Mills (1814) a garrison of 80 men of the 13th Regiment of Foot and a Congreve rocket detachment of the Royal Marine Artillery, later reinforced by a company of the Canadian Voltigeurs and the Grenadier company of the Canadian Fencibles successfully defended a blockhouse and stone mill building from an attacking American force of 4,000 men led by Major General James Wilkinson.〔John R. Elting, ''Amateurs to Arms'', p.176〕〔(Report of the Commanding Officer of the 13th Foot )〕〔NICOLAS, Paul Harris: Historical Record of the Royal Marine Forces, Volume 2, p253〕
The Battle of Lacolle was fought on November 7, 1838 between Loyal Lower Canada volunteer forces under Major John Scriver and Lower Canada rebels under Colonel Ferdinand-Alphonse Oklowski. The half hour battle ended in a rebel defeat.〔("La bataille de Lacolle, 6 novembre 1838" ) at Les Patriotes de 1837@1838〕〔("Bataille de Lacolle - 6 et 7 novembre 1838. (Bataille)" ) in ''La Mémoire du Québec''〕
