Fort Bull was located at the Oneida Carry in British North America (now New York, United States) during the French and Indian War.
On October 29, 1755 Governor William Shirley ordered Captain Mark Petrie to take the men under his command and to build a fort on the upper landing of Wood Creek to protect the Oneida Carry.
During the eighteenth century, the Oneida Carry was the English name for the portage path between the Mohawk River and Wood Creek.
[1] Once the French and Indian War broke out the English built two small stockade forts on the Oneida Carry to safeguard supply lines to Oswego.
Two years into the war in March 1756 a French-led attack accompanied by Canadians and Native Americans destroyed Fort Bull and its connecting supply routes.
