From 1878, temporary gun emplacements defended the harbours at Victoria and Esquimalt and the adjacent coastline. International crises during the latter part of the century led to an agreement between the Canadian and British governments to improve and expand these defences with permanent fortifications and modern guns. Fort Rodd Hill was one part of this new development and remained in service until 1956.
