Description: Fort Craven was partially built in Rome, Oneida County, New York, in 1756 by British forces, until it, along with other forts in the region, were ordered to be destroyed by Brigadier General Daniel Webb following the French capture of nearby holdings. The fort, or what was built of it, was named in honor of Mayor Charles Craven. Of the five bastions planned for the fort, three were completed before its destruction in August of 1756.
