Fort George served as the headquarters of British West Florida, from the Suwannee to the Mississippi, from 1763 until its capture by Spanish Gen. Bernardo de Galvez in 1781, when it was renamed San Miguel. Andrew Jackson seized it in 1814 and again in 1818, and it was delivered to him as U.S. Territory in 1821. The Knights of Columbus acquired it in 1924.
