This fort, along with forts Canby and Stevens, constituted the harbor defense of the Columbia River from 1896 until 1947 when Fort Columbia was declared surplus by the U.S. Government. These fortifications went through the activities of being fully manned to caretaker status for three wars - the Spanish-American, World War I, and World War II, with Fort Stevens being headquarters for this harbor defense.The area was the home of the Chinook Indians and their famed Chief Comcomly. Captain Robert Gray dropped anchor near here after his discovery of the Columbia River. The park features picnicking, hiking and a visitor center, as well as observation of the historic fortification. The Washington State Parks system includes more than 125 developed parks and covers about a quarter million acres. Click here for additional Historic Military Installations.
