Did You Know?
Fort Stanwix has two names. Named for Gen. John Stanwix, this was the fort's name under the British. When the Americans rebuilt it was then named for Gen. Phillip Schuyler. However, there were several other Fort Schuylers in New York at that time, so the name never really stuck due to the confusion.
