Fort Shelby

From Warlike




Fort Shelby was a military fort in what is now Detroit, Michigan that played a significant role in the War of 1812 (1812-1815). It was built by the British Army in 1779 as Fort Lernoult, and was ceded to the United States by the terms of the Jay Treaty in 1796, following up on the original terms of the peace agreement of the Treaty of Paris that ended the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783), 13 years earlier when the British held on to continuing occupying several fortifications on the new American-Canadian international border. It was renamed Fort Detroit by the U.S. Secretary of War Henry Dearborn in 1805.
