Iredell Fort The fort's name honors the colonial Governor of North Carolina from 1754 to 1765, who played a role in designing the fort and authorized its construction. The fort was built to protect the British settlers of the western portion of what was then Rowan County. The forts primary structure was a blockhouse with log walls, surrounded by a palisade and moat. When in use, it was the only fort on the frontier between South Carolina and Virginia. Between 1756 and 1760. The fort was abandoned after 1766. Archaeological work in the 20th century and historical research in 2005 and 2006 led to the discovery of the fort's exact location and probable appearance.
