Fort Moore
Fort Moore was the second of two historic U.S. Military Forts in Los Angeles, California, during the Mexican–American War. Its approximate location was at what is now the Hollywood Freeway near the intersection of north Hill Street and west Cesar Chavez Avenue, downtown. The fort was built on a hill that once overlooked the old Plaza.
The landmark hill took its name, Fort Hill, from the first fort, and the hill afforded sweeping views of the old adobe town and the vineyards in the swale of the Los Angeles River. Originally, Fort Hill rose between 1st Street and Ord Street,〔Sunset Boulevard/César Chavez Avenue was not cut throught until around 1900, by which time much of Fort Hill had been dug away.〕 and from west of modern Performing Arts High School to the Plaza Church. Temple Street was the first to climb the hill, linking the old town around the Plaza to the open country to the west. Most of historic Fort Hill was removed by 1949 for construction of the freeway. However, a small part of the hill was not bulldozed and remains on the west side of Hill Street on the north side of the freeway.
The fort is now memorialized by the Fort Moore Pioneer Memorial.
==Mexican–American War==
On August 13, 1846, early in the conflict, U.S. naval forces under Commodore Robert F. Stockton arrived at Los Angeles and raised the American flag without opposition. A small occupying force of 50 Marines, under Captain Archibald H. Gillespie, built a rudimentary barricade on what was then known as Fort Hill overlooking the small town.
