Hudson's Bay Co. post at mouth of Du Lièvre river, 15 miles below Hull, shown on Arrowsmith map 1857 (No. 8), and became the basis for town of Buckingham. There was an old French fort or trading post on this site which was deserted in 1761 when Alexander Henry Sr. passed up the Ottawa. Possibly this fort was operated by the North West Co. and after the coalition 1821, by the Hudson's Bay Co.
