Île aux Noix has been occupied for nearly 6000 years. During the prehistoric period! was visited by Amerindian nomads, who settled at this location on a regular, seasonal basis. Following the arrival of the Europeans, the trade route formed by Lake Champlain and the Richelieu River became the theatre of military activities. By the early 18th century, skirmishes had already erupted around Lake George (New York) in relation to the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714). From that time on, île aux Noix's strategic position would mean the island would play an increasingly important role in defending the country. However, it was during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) that the island truly earned its place in history books.
