Fort Rouillé was a French trading post located in Toronto, Ontario, which was established around 1750 but abandoned in 1759. The fort was also called Fort Toronto. The fort site is now part of the public lands of Exhibition Place. It was very near this point that the U.S. fleet set anchor for their attack on York, April 27th, 1813 during the War of 1812.
