The French established another trading post in 1750 on the Humber River. It was successful enough to encourage the French to establish Fort Rouillé, at present day Exhibition Place in 1751. After the British captured Fort Niagara in July 1759, Fort Rouillé was destroyed by its French occupants, who withdrew to Montreal. In 1760, Robert Rogers, with an armed force of two hundred men and a flotilla of fifteen whaleboats came to secure the Toronto area. The Treaty of Paris of 1763 formally ended the Seven Years' War and saw New France ceded to the British. The area presently comprising Toronto was also ceded to the British, with the area forming a part of the "Pays d'en Haut" region of New France.
