Old French post built before 1700 on Nikabau lake, head of Ashuapmouchouan river, Quebec. Lake is shown on map No. 63. Del'Isle's map of 1700 shows the post; also on Del'Isle's map 1703, No. 18. It was listed by Begon in 1720 as one of the King's Posts in Traite du Tadoussac. In 1731 it was reestablished as a winter post and in 1733 it was given as one of the King's Posts and Jean Baptiste Dorval des Groseliers was in charge of the post. On Danville's map of 1755 (No. 97) it is shown on the east shore of lake "Chamonchouan" at the outlet of river Nekoubau as "Maison Française". The name is variously written, Nikabau, Necouba, Nekouban, Nekoubau.
