Fort Hamilton. Centrally located in middle of the New York City Metropolitan area, Fort Hamilton is surrounded around the quaint historic communities of Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and Bensonhurst, just southwest of Brooklyn, New York. The cornerstone of this coastal defense fort was set in 1825, and the first garrison flag was raised in 1831. While many of the original structures are gone, some having yielded to the construction of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, still part of the old fort remains on the grounds of the United States Army Fort Hamilton Garrison.
