Fort King George
Fort King George was erected in 1721 and is a reconstructed replica of the original located in the historic town of Darien, Georgia. The fort burned and was abandoned in 1732. However in 1735 John Oglethorpe gathered some Scottish Highlanders to re-establish the post and turned it into a thriving little town and economy based on the lumber industry.
