  Note: Fort George was built after the British handed Fort Niagara over to the Americans in 1796. Fort Niagara had been the military/naval base in the region for decades, since before the War of Indeendence. It was on the US side of the Niagara River so was given up to the Americans as a result of the Jay Treaty in 1794. The British then moved across the river and built Fort George. In 1813 Fort George was destroyed by bombardment from Fort Niagara as a prelude to the attack by American forces on the Niagara area, from which they would retreat later in the year.
