Augustin Langlade

Augustin Mouet, sieur de Langlade, {with a number of name variations) (1703 – c. 1771), was born in Trois-Rivières, Quebec. He was the son of Pierre Mouet, sieur de Moras.

Augustin obtained a fur trading license for at Michilimackinac in 1728 and the same year married a widow with six children who was the daughter of an Ottawa chief and the sister to another. This strengthened his standing in the area and he was largely responsible for the establishment the fur trading outpost that became Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Augustin's place in history came from his activities as a Canadian fur trader in that region. His son, Charles Michel de Langlade, was also involved in fur trading, and was a leader in the French and Indian Wars.
