Fort Bourbon was one of the forts built by La VĂ©rendrye during his expansion of trade and exploration west from Lake Superior. Besides providing support for the important fur trade in what is now Manitoba, La VĂ©rendrye wanted to conduct exploration of potential routes for what he believed was an interior western sea. The name "Fort Bourbon" was also given to York Factory, Manitoba while it was occupied by the French.
