Fort Scott - Georgia
| Fort Scott Historical Marker Decatur County, Georgia |
Occupied from 1816-1821, Fort Scott
was one of the most significant army
posts on what was then the southern
frontier of the United States.
Constructed by the 4th U.S. Infantry on
the Flint River in today's Decatur
County, Georgia, the fort was the
launching point for two significant
invasions of Spanish Florida by U.S.
troops. A command post for military
operations during the First Seminole
War of 1817-1818, Fort Scott may well
have been the most important U.S.
military installation of its day.
