Fort La Baye was a French military post at La Baye which was built in 1717 and occupied until 1760.By 1718 there were a number of French Canadian families living in the area near the fort. Other families settled across the river from the fort in an area which was called Munnomonee because of the Menominee native people that lived there. Most of the families had come to La Baye from the Mackinac area.In 1733 the Sauks allied to the Meskwaki (Fox) attacked the French at Fort La Baye.
