Fort Sumter is the Key to the Entrance to this Harbor
In April 1861 CS forces bombarded the US garrison at Fort Sumter resulting in it’s surrender. The event marked the beginning of the Civil War. Fort Sumter and the city remained a focal point in the war. Fort Sumter was modified over the years and was decommissioned by the US Army in 1947. In 1948 it was transferred to the National Park Service.
