Fort Stanwix was a colonial bastion fort in present-day Rome, New York. It was built during the French and Indian War to guard a strategic portage along the water route from Lake Ontario to the Hudson River known as the Oneida Carry. Construction commenced on August 26, 1758, under the direction of British General John Stanwix, but was not completed until about 1762.
