Fort Jesup, Military fort in Sabine Parish, Louisiana, United States.
Fort Jesup operated as a strategic military outpost at the western border of Louisiana with a complex of buildings and training facilities.
Lieutenant Colonel Zachary Taylor established Fort Jesup in 1822 to maintain order in the Neutral Ground between United States and Spanish territories.
The fort influenced regional development through military activities including road construction, frontier surveying, and management of border relations with Mexico.
Located six miles northeast of Many, Louisiana, Fort Jesup State Historic Site maintains a restored kitchen building and reconstructed officers quarters.
The garrison at Fort Jesup witnessed the transformation of Texas from Mexican territory to independent republic and finally to American statehood.
