About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Fort St. Louis du Rocher was built by the French on a large butte overlooking the Illinois River in the winter of 1682. The Kaskaskia (specifically the Miami, Shawnee, and Mohican tribes) built a village at the base of the butte, now an archeological site known as Hotel Plaza.

The fort was supposed to be the first of several forts built to defend against Britain's push to move west. The fort was abandoned in 1691, due to several attacks by the Iroquois who were considered British subjects at the time. The fort was back in operation again by 1714 and it remained active until the territory was signed over to Louisiana in 1717/1718.

There is nothing left of Fort St. Louis du Rocher or its cemetery and it is now part of Starved Rock State Park.
