.
Fort Stanwix tells the story of the Oneida Carrying Place, a sixmile portage connecting the Mohawk River and Wood Creek.
This portage was a vital link in water transportation between
the Atlantic Ocean and the Great Lakes. The American Indians
referred to this area as the “Great Carrying Place” or “Two
Rivers Together.”
.
The British built Fort Stanwix in 1758 during the French and
Indian War (Seven Years’ War) to protect the Carry and to
prevent the French from moving south from Canada into New
York’s Mohawk Valley. ... It was abandoned by the British in 1766
and rebuilt by the Continental Army, renamed Fort Schuyler,
in 1776. The following year, the Continental garrison refused
to surrender during a 21-day siege by a contingent of British
soldiers, Loyalists, foreign troops, and their Indian allies.
.
Following the nearby Battle of Oriskany and the arrival of
Continental Army reinforcements, the British withdrew. In 1781,
fire destroyed part of the fort and it was decommissioned.
.
Significant treaties were signed at Fort Stanwix, including the 1768
Boundary Line Treaty and 1784 Treaty of Fort Stanwix. The State
of New York also negotiated four land deals with the Oneida,
Onondaga, and Cayuga Indians at the site in 1788 and 1790.
European-American settlement in the Rome area began after
1785 with the settlement of Lynchville, renamed Rome in
1819. The site of Fort Stanwix became the focus for Rome’s
commercial and residential development, and gradually evidence
of the fort disappeared under the city’s development.

I visited it once during a trip to Crown Point. It is an impressive site, and doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves.
