FORT MISSISSAUGA  (1814-1870)

A two-story brick blockhouse.Keep, two powder magazines and earthworks were built to replace Fort George, which is still extant  on the municipal golf club property.  It was partially built with material from the Mississauga  Point Lighthouse that once stood here  from 1804 to 1814.

Garrisoned by 50 men in 1837.  The fort was disarmed in 1856, although troops were posted here again in 1861.
