Fort Frederick (Vermont)
Fort Frederick was a formidable blockhouse that was built at the Winooski River in 1773 by Ira Allen, one of the first English occupants to settle in the locality. He named it after the ten-year-old Frederick, Duke of York and Albany, second son of George III of the United Kingdom. Allen also established a shipyard nearby at the Winooski River bridge in 1772.
