|  Fort St. John Aka old Spanish Fort
in Louisiana Historical Markers The Colonial era fort protected the Lake Pontchartrain entrance of Bayou St. John. The first small fort here was erected by the French in 1701, before the founding of the city of New Orleans, to protect the important trade route along Bayou St. John. After Louisiana passed to Spanish control, a larger brick fort was constructed at the site of the neglected old French fortification; this was known as "San Juan del Bayou". Louisiana passed back to France and then to the hands of the United States. posted by:  short circuit 2 location: Louisiana date approved: 01/25/2009 last visited: 05/23/2009 |
