Founded in 1812 by Russians
from Alaska. When Russians withdrew to Alaska in 1841,
Captain Sutter bought the improvements and supplies. The
State acquired the fort in 1906 and the remaining buildings-Greek
Orthodox Chapel, Commandant's Quarters, and Stockade-were
restored. The chapel, destroyed by fire in 1970, was reconstructed
in 1974.
