No. Fort Mandan was somewhere around the beginning of the expedition and Fort Clatsop was somewhere around the beginning of the journey back home. They were named after Indian tribes that lived around the forts.
Lewis and Clark's party, consisting of around 33 men, started constructing Fort Clatsop on December 10, 1805. It took them about three weeks to complete the construction, and the fort was completed by December 25, 1805.
