Fort Jackson, Military fort near Wetumpka, US.
Fort Jackson stands at the meeting point of the Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers, featuring earthen walls reaching nine feet in height and a seven-foot-deep moat.
General Andrew Jackson established the fort in 1814 following the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, using it as a base during negotiations with Creek leaders.
The fort grounds contain a 1,000-year-old Native American mound, indicating the long presence of indigenous peoples in this strategic location.
