Fort Pitt, formerly known as Fort Duquesne.
Fort Duquesne
Fort Prince George in present day Pittsburgh was the incomplete British fortification at the confluence of the Ohio, Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers. It became the French Fort Duquesne.
Pittsburgh grew around the site of Fort Duquesne. Fort Duquesne was at what is now called The Point which is flat land where the rivers Allegheny and Monongahela converge to form the Ohio River.
The Monongahela River, and Allegheny River points meet to form the Ohio River.
Fort Duquesne, later renamed Fort Pitt, is now downtown Pittsburgh (Point State Park)
