Well, there were a number of forts built along the Hudson river at different times and places. The most famous one though was West Point, named simply after its location. This was a critical strategic fortification during the Revolutionary War. American pssession of it made it impossible for the British to exploit their control of New York City by advancing up the river. Bendict Arnold committed treason by attempting to surrender the fort to the British. It became the home of the United States Military Academy in the early 1800s. Michael Montagne
