Fort Prince George, Colonial fort in Pickens County, South Carolina.
The fort consisted of a 200-foot square structure with 15-foot high walls made of earth and wood, surrounded by a deep defensive trench.
Built in 1753 across from the Cherokee town of Keowee, the fort served as a primary trading post for the Cherokee Lower Towns until 1768.
The fort housed military personnel and facilitated trade relationships between British colonists and Cherokee communities during the mid-18th century.
Archaeological excavations in 1970 recovered numerous artifacts including musket balls, cannonballs, rum bottles, and cooking utensils before Lake Keowee submerged the site.
The fort's location at the intersection of Cherokee territory and colonial settlements made it central to diplomatic relations and trade networks.
