Fort Inge, Military fort in Uvalde County, United States.
Fort Inge stands on the east bank of the Leona River, featuring Mount Inge, a 140-foot volcanic plug made of Uvalde phonolite basalt.
Captain Seth Eastman established the fort with 56 soldiers in March 1849, naming it after Lieutenant Zebulon Inge who died in the Mexican War battle.
The fort served as a base for protecting frontier settlements, international boundaries, and securing the San Antonio-El Paso military road from various threats.
The site functions today as Fort Inge Historical Site County Park, presenting remnants of military structures and archaeological findings from multiple periods.
Archaeological evidence indicates human occupation at Fort Inge dating back to 6000 BC, during the Pre-Archaic period of North American settlement.
