Fort McDowell

By Rev Cyrus Cort D.D.

Fort McDowell, located on Angel Island in San Francisco Bay, served various military purposes throughout its history. Established in the late 19th century, it initially functioned as a processing center for troops during the Spanish-American War. It later played a key role as a staging and embarkation point for soldiers heading to the Pacific during World War I and World War II. The fort also housed a detention center for enemy aliens during WWII. Today, the remnants of Fort McDowell are part of Angel Island State Park, offering historical insight into its military past and its significance in U.S. history.
