Fort George was a British fort built in 1778 for the protection of Pensacola, Florida. The fort no longer exists, though part of it was later recreated to mark its original location. This reconstruction is part of the Fort George Memorial Park, which is in the North Hill Preservation District. The park is located on La Rua and Palafox Streets.
The site was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on July 8, 1974.
