Description: Fort Fish, located in what is now Central Park, in New York City, was built in 1814. The construction featured various earthworks, and was used during the war of 1812, but was promptly abandoned after just one year of operation in 1815. Fort Fish was part of a larger defensive formation consisting of two other forts in Manhattan: Fort Laight to its north, and Halletts point Tower to its south. Fort Fish was the largest, and most heavily defended of the three fortifications.
