Fort King George

Fort King George

Fort King George is a fort located in the U.S. state of Georgia. The fort was built in 1721 and served as the southernmost outpost of the British colonies in the Americas until Fort Frederica was built in 1736. The fort was abandoned in 1736. Scottish colonists settled on the site of the old fort, naming their village Darien.

The fort has been reconstructed and is open to the public for historical tours.
