Fort Presque Isle (also Fort de la Presqu’île) was a fort built by French soldiers in summer 1753 along Presque Isle Bay at present-day Erie Pennsylvania to protect the northern terminus of the Venango Path. It was the first of the French posts built in the Ohio Country and was part of a line that included Fort Le Boeuf Fort Machault and Fort Duquesne.
