Located here were the Alger Garrison (built 1651 by brothers Andrew and Arthur Alger, attacked and abandoned in 1675, both men killed), and Burnham's Garrison (built before 1675) at Blue Point. Richard Foxwell's Garrison (1650 ?) was located on Cascade (Foxwell) Brook, part of the Blue Point settlement.
Zachary Taylor established this fort on March 24, 1846 as a supply base for his operations leading up to the Battle of Palo Alto, and used it until 1850. He garrisoned it with two artillery companies under Major John Munroe.
