Fort Daniel, located on Hog Mountain in Gwinnett County, near the head of the Apalachee River, was one of several small frontier forts or "stations" built in northwest Georgia during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. These forts were established during the settlement of the state's western territories because of frequent conflicts between white settlers and the region's Indians. The precise locations for many of these forts are no longer known, but many were situated along treaty boundaries negotiated with the Cherokee and Creek Indians.text/htmlengForms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.Fortification--GeorgiaFort Daniel (Ga.)Historic sites--GeorgiaFort DanielText
