It was a L'Anse au Foulon that the British forces commanded by James Wolfe landed prior to proceeding to the Plains of Abraham where they engaged and defeated the French force commanded by the Marquis de Montcalme, resulting in the eventual ceding of all French territory in continental North America to Britain (1759). Since the majority of historical documents dealing with this battle are written from the victor's (British) perspective, the term "Wolfe's Cove" is almost always used. However in modern Quebec, the name L'Anse au Foulon is used as the current residents prefer the loser's (French) perspective.
