The Battle of Beaver Dams took place on 24 June 1813, during the War of 1812. A column of troops from the United States Army marched from Fort George and attempted to surprise a British outpost at Beaver Dams, billeting themselves overnight in the village of Queenston, Ontario. Laura Secord, a resident of Queenston, had earlier learned of the American plans from several Americans billeted at her house and had struck out on a long and difficult trek to warn the British at Decou's stone house near present-day Brock University. When the Americans resumed their march, they were ambushed by Kahnawake and other native warriors and eventually surrendered to a small British detachment led by Lieutenant James FitzGibbon. About 500 U.S. troops, including their wounded commander, were taken prisoner.
La bataille de Beaver Dams a eu lieu le 23 juin 1813, au cours de la guerre de 1812. Une colonne américaine, quitta Fort George pour attaquer le poste de Beaver Dams. En chemin, elle fait halte pour la nuit dans le village de Queenston, en Ontario, que Laura Secord, une habitante informée des projets des Américains, avait quitté peu avant, pour avertir les autorités Britanniques résidant dans la maison Decou's stone à Thorold de leur arrivée. Quand les envahisseurs reprirent leur route, ils furent pris en embuscade par des Indiens et se rendirent finalement au commandant d'un petit détachement de réguliers britanniques. Environ 500 Américains, dont leur chef blessé, furent faits prisonniers. Cette bataille marqua la fin de l’offensive américaine dans le Haut-Canada.
