Fort Johnestone

Fort Johnston, located in North Carolina, was a British colonial military outpost established in the early 18th century to defend settlers from Native American attacks and to assert British control. It served as a strategic point for trade, defense, and administration during the colonial period. Over time, it played a key role in regional conflicts and the development of the surrounding area. Today, archaeological findings and historical records help us understand its significance in early American history, highlighting its role in colonial defense and expansion efforts.
