Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox military installation Fort Landrum was a stockade fort built in 1813 in present-day Clarke County, Alabama during the Creek War (part of the larger War of 1812). The fort was located eleven miles west of Fort Sinquefield.[1] Fort Landrum, like many other forts built around the same time, was built in response to Red Stick attacks on settlers in the surrounding area.[2]
Fort Landrum was built around the home of John Landrum, a veteran of the Revolutionary War who moved to the area in 1803 from Warren County, Georgia.[3]
In 1813, the fort became the site of the first courthouse in Clarke County. A courthouse remained here until 1819.[4]
A historical marker was erected in 1977 near the site of Fort Landrum by the Clarke County Historical Society.[4]
