• BRIEF HISTORICAL CHRONOLOGY
• The original 14-acre purchase in 1872 served to
  establish a sub-post to Fort Preble located at
  Spring Point. Over about 25 years, a total of 90
  acres were purchased to develop a fortification
  at Portland Head. These formative years saw the
  first three batteries -- Sullivan, DeHart, and
  Hobart -- completed on April 16, 1898.

• During World War I, the fort was fully manned by
  artillery companies and National Guard troops.

Anti-aircraft guns were added to the defenses
during this time.
