- 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. Reestablishing a more lasting presence, the French founded Fort St Louis du Pimiteoui nearby in 1691, at the former Kaskaskia village destroyed by the Iroquois. It became a center of trade and was partially settled during the colonial period. Henri de Tonti was a primary founder of both the Crevecouer and Pimiteoui posts. (en)
- 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)
