Initially a fur-trading post, built by French fur trader Charles de Sainte-Etienne La Giraudiere in 1655.
Its location on the St Mary's River give it a competitive advantage. In 1861, when gold was discovered,
the town boomed for 20 years. Today, the village of 400 is popular with hunters and anglers.
