Description: Fort De Sables was built in 1717, in Monroe County, New York. It was built by French forces and primarily served as a trading post to exchange goods with the Seneca Native American tribe. Unfortunately, the site was destroyed centuries later as it stood in the path of a planned expressway and was demolished to make room for the project.
