Formerly controlled by the French as Fort St. Frederic, the British took control of the damaged fort in 1759. Over the winter they rebuilt it with a new name of "His Majesties Fort of Crown Point". The following year, an assembled British fleet left Crown Point and pursued the French into Canada for a three prong attack on Montreal. The successful capture of Montreal ended hostilities in the Champlain Valley.
