The '''Fort at Pensacola''' was a fortification constructed under [[British rule]] atop the previous [[Second Spanish period|Spanish]] [[Presidio San Miguel]], in what is now [[downtown Pensacola]].
Initial plans for the fort were submitted by Major [[William Forbes]] on [[January 29]], [[1764]], a few months after British forces arrived in the city. Surveyor general and engineer [[Elias Durnford]] arrived on [[October 21]] of that year, along with governor [[George Johnstone]], and prepared a plat for the development of the fort and surrounding city, which was completed in early [[1765]].
