Fort Carondelet, Spanish colonial fort in Vernon County, Missouri, United States.
Fort Carondelet stood along the Osage River, constructed with wooden structures designed for trading operations and military defense purposes in 1795.
The Chouteau family established the fort as a trading post under Spanish Louisiana governance, maintaining relations between Spanish authorities and the Osage Nation.
Pierre Chouteau managed the fort operations while integrating his family into the Osage community, facilitating trade and diplomatic connections between cultures.
The fort served as the westernmost outpost for the Chouteau trading network until 1802, when ownership transferred to Manuel Lisa.
Zebulon Pike documented the fort's complete deterioration during his 1806 expedition, noting its structures were overtaken by vegetation.
