Fort Crevecoeur (French: Fort Crèvecœur) was the first public building erected by Europeans within the boundaries of the modern state of Illinois and the first fort built in the West by the French. It was founded on the east bank of the Illinois River, in the Illinois Country near the present site of Creve Coeur, a suburb of Peoria, Illinois, in January 1680. It was destroyed on 16 April of that same year by members of La Salle's expedition, who mutinied and abandoned it, fearful of being attacked by the Iroquois League as the Beaver Wars extended into the area.

  • Le Fort Crèvecœur est fondé par les compagnons de René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle et de Henri de Tonti, en Haute-Louisiane en 1679. Ce lieu, au bord de la rivière Illinois, est le point de départ pour explorer la région du Pays des Illinois, qui mène du sud des Grands lacs au Mississippi. Le 5 janvier 1680, la messe fut célébrée par les Récollets, , Zénobe Membré et Louis Hennepin. (fr)
