Fort Livingston, Coastal defense fort on Grand Terre Island, Louisiana.
The fort features walls constructed of cemented shell, faced with brick and trimmed with granite, standing along the Gulf of Mexico shoreline.
Construction of Fort Livingston began in 1834 under Lieutenant H. G. Wright's plans, with Confederate forces occupying it during the Civil War.
The fort bears the name of Edward Livingston, who served as Mayor of New York City and U.S. Secretary of State under President Andrew Jackson.
Access to Fort Livingston requires a boat journey through Barataria Pass, with careful navigation needed due to heavy maritime traffic.
In 1867, a commercial shrimp cannery established near the fort marked an industrial shift in the region's maritime activities.
