Recherche sur la Forteresse-de-Louisbourg Lieu historique national du Canada
Louisbourg was first settled in the 1600's when European fisherman began to use the harbour.
The French founded a permanent community on 2 September 1713, when 149 soldiers, fishermen, women and children came ashore from the King's ship "Semslack".
