'Fort' is the short form of the word 'Fortress'
'Fortress' means 'a protected place'. In the past, kings built huge buildings as living places as well as for the purpose of protection. There were some buildings for trade purposes as well as storehouses of necessary articles. These buildings served also as places of administration. Such buildings came to be known as 'forts'.
There are different kinds of forts mainly rock forts, brick forts and granite forts. Forts had high walls which could prevent the easy entry of enemies. For further protection moats were built around the fort and crocodiles were bred there. This was a further method.
