Fort Greene (Rhode Island)

Fort Greene may refer to either of two locations in Rhode Island. The first was a small fort built circa 1794 at Battery Park in the Point section of Newport, last active in the War of 1812.〔Wade, pp. 57, 59〕 The second is a United States Army Reserve installation in the Point Judith area of Narragansett, Rhode Island. During World War II this was a coastal defense fort. Both forts were named for General Nathanael Greene of the Revolutionary War, who was born in Rhode Island.〔(FortWiki article on Fort Greene )〕
==Fort Greene in Newport==

Fort Greene in Newport was built as part of the First System of US seacoast fortifications circa 1794. The location is now Battery Park at Easton's Point (now usually called The Point), which was sometimes called North Point in the 18th century. It was on the site of a previous battery built with state resources.〔Wade, p. 16〕 Fort Greene mounted approximately 12 guns and was intended to house a company of about 100 men, but was never completed.〔Wade, p. 57〕 The fort was described in the Secretary of War's report for December 1811 as "an elliptical stone battery... now in a state of ruin".〔Wade, p. 243〕 Contemporary forts in Newport included the first Fort Adams and Fort Wolcott.〔Wade, p. 59〕 In the War of 1812 the fort was garrisoned by the Newport Artillery.
