Port Lacliona was initially built in 1637 as part of the Bishop of Doilaghi's, Aiton-Feipo Pardio Bruzzone, attempts to capitalize his lakes as a trade route for goods from the Duchy of Martilles to the western interior of the Kingdom of Dericania and for grains, cereals, and timber from the interior to the Duchy of Martilles. Albonne was on a Latinic military road that had served as a trade route for centuries, but the rivers in the Duchy of Martilles bypassed the Duchy of Doilaghi and as the colonies of the Duchy of Martilles expanded and became profitable, the Bishop Bruzzone wanted to become a part of the new trade boom.
