About Sorel-Tracy
Jacques Cartier passed by the site of the present city in 1535, as did and Samuel de Champlain in 1608 and he led the battle of Cap de la Victoire on June 19, 1610 at Contrecoeur. In 1642, Charles Huault de Montmagny, governor of New France, erected a fort at the confluence of the Richelieu River and the St. Lawrence River. This fort was abandoned in 1647, for lack of resources. In 1665, following the decision of King Louis XIV to take over New France after the dissolution of the Compagnie des cent associés, the sustainable exploitation of the lands of Sorel began. The city of Sorel was built on the site of Fort Richelieu, at the mouth of the Richelieu River in the 17th century. Formerly this river was designated river of the Iroquois. This toponym evokes the life work of Cardinal de Riche
