     History
    Fort Anne has been the center of Annapolis Royal since 1634. This was the year that Charles de Menou D'Aulnay erected the first of four forts to be built on this piece of land. This fort is thought to be the most contested piece of land in North Amercia in its time. The fort itself has changed hands several times between the French and British between 1634-1854. In 1917, Fort Anne became Canada's first National Historic Site. It also has the oldest known garrison graveyard in Canada with it's oldest stone dated in 1720.
