Stoney Creek, Battle of

The Battle of Stoney Creek was a British victory over an American force fought on 6 June 1813, during the War of 1812 near present-day Stoney Creek, Ontario.

British units make a night attack on the American encampment, and due in large part to the capture of the two senior officers of the American force, and an overestimation of British strength by the Americans, the battle results in a total victory for the British, and a turning point in the defense of Upper Canada.
