Fort King, Military fort in Ocala, Florida, US
Fort King spans 40 acres of land with a reconstructed wooden fortress, visitor center, and interpretive walking trails through Florida's natural landscape.
Established in 1827, Fort King served as a crucial military outpost during the Second Seminole War and later became Marion County's first courthouse.
The fort represents a pivotal location where Seminole leader Osceola confronted US government officials regarding Native American relocation policies.
Visitors can access the Fort King National Historic Landmark through the main entrance at 3925 East Fort King Street in Ocala.
Archaeological discoveries at Fort King continue to reveal artifacts from both military operations and Native American presence during the 1800s.
