Fort Malden is a fort that stands on the remains of Fort Amherstburg in Amherstburg, Ontario. The original fort was abandoned by the British/Canadians in 1813 when Southwest Ontario fell into American hands. The Americans began building a smaller replacement fort on the same site, but this was unfinished at the end of the war, when the region was returned to the British Empire. The fort was finally rebuilt between 1838 and 1840 and served as an important staging area for the 34th (Cumberland) Regiment of Foot that participated in actions around Essex county Ontario during the Upper Canada Rebellion from 1837 to 1838. This fort lasted until 1851 when the last regular forces occupied the site. During the final days of the fort, it was garrisoned by members of The Royal Canadian Rifle Regimen
