Forty Fort
Forty Fort was a stronghold built by settlers from Westmoreland County, Connecticut, on the Susquehanna River in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. During the American Revolutionary War, both Connecticut and Pennsylvania claimed this territory, as Connecticut laid claim to a wide swath of land to the west. This fort became a refuge for displaced settlers during the Battle of Wyoming in 1778, in which Zebulon Butler's force of Continental and allied Indians was defeated by the far larger force of Loyalists and their Indian allies. ==Reference==
