Fort Pitt was a military fortification built by the British during the French and Indian War in 1758. Located at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers in present-day Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, it served as a strategic point for controlling the region and protecting British interests. The fort was named after British Prime Minister William Pitt the Elder and played a crucial role in the expansion of British territories in North America. After the war, it became a center for westward expansion and was eventually dismantled in the 1780s, with remnants of its structure still visible today.
