Fort Anahuac Park

Fort Anahuac was a combination Mexican fort and custom house on Galveston Bay near the mouth of the Trinity River. In November 1830 Col. Juan Davis Bradburnqv chose the site for the fort and its town on a bluff, called Perry's Point since 1816, overlooking the entrance to the Trinity River. Texan insurgents under Col. Francis White Johnson attacked the fort on June 10-12, 1832, to rescue Travis. The troops dismantled the fort when they left in July 1832, and a fire in November gutted the wooden parts. The wooden calaboose was burned in December 1832, and practical residents removed bricks for fireplaces and foundations. Some traces remain at the park.

Location: 5 Main Street, Anahuac Texas
