Fort George, Colonial defense fortification in Brunswick, United States
Fort George is a fortification in Brunswick built with a ten-foot-high wall made of lime mortar, positioned strategically beside the Androscoggin River and Brunswick Falls. The structure was sited to defend early settlements in this area.
The fort was built in 1715 on the remains of an earlier fortification and served to protect settlers during territorial conflicts. It marked a significant moment in the region's history of European expansion.
The site reflects how a military fortress evolved into a center of industry and shaped the region's economic growth. Today's spaces show the marks of this transformation and its importance to the local community.
The site is now known as Fort Andross and houses shops and offices that are accessible from outside. Visitors can explore the exterior areas and see the industrial structure of the building from its mill era.
In 2023, the building received a mural showing eight different cultural groups who lived in this area over the centuries. The artwork honors the diverse history of people who inhabited this region.
