Why this spot
1680s-1765 deerskin trading town and frontier fort
A Westo and then Savannah (Shawnee) village that became a fortified English trading post by 1685, shipping thousands of deerskins downriver and running a ferry across the Savannah. Augusta, founded in 1735 five miles upriver, took its trade, and the village and fort were abandoned by 1765.View source →
