After the War of 1812, the United States Army maintained a post on Grosse Ile for a short time. This point marked the northeast corner of its stockade. Detachments of the Fifth Infantry Regiment garrisoned the post and were quartered in seven log cabins. The troops protected the island's civilian population and their property from Indian raids.
