A second Fort George was built by the British in 1755 at Oswego, New York, but it was destroyed by the French commander Louis-Joseph de Montcalm in 1756.
The site of the fifth fort, in upper Manhattan, is on a hill at the northern end of the Washington Heights neighborhood.
[7] The area encompassing the hill is also called Fort George, and is considered a sub-neighborhood of Washington Heights.
[8][9] However, the name Fort George is not widely used by New Yorkers and could be considered an example of neighborhood rebranding.
