Fort Wilkinson
Fort Wilkinson was a U.S. fort near Milledgeville, Georgia established in 1797 near the Oconee River. It supplanted Fort Fidius. A historical marker commemorates the site. The fort carried out trading relations with Creek peoples through the United States factory.[1][2]
The marker is located on Fort Wilkinson Road.[3] The 1802 Treaty of Fort Wilkinson deals with relations with the Creek.[4][5] In 1807, the garrison was moved to Ft. Hawkins on the Ocmulgee River. [6]
