Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox military installation Fort White, also known as White's Fort, 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 northeast of present-day Grove Hill.[1] The fort was possibly named due to the fact that it offered protection to local white settlers.[2] Other sources state it was named for a local settler.[3] Fort White offered protection to the residents of the community that would eventually become Grove Hill from possible Red Stick attacks.[4] Fort White was likely abandoned after the Fort Mims massacre.[5]

Timothy H. Ball visited the site of Fort White prior to writing his history of the Creek War.[1]
