Fort Bragg, NS

Fort Bragg, Nova Scotia, was established during the late 18th century as a British military outpost designed to protect the region from potential American privateer raids during the tumultuous years surrounding the American Revolution. The fort served as a garrison and supply point for British troops and local militia, contributing to the defense and stability of Nova Scotia’s Atlantic coastline. Although its military significance waned in the early 19th century as threats diminished, Fort Bragg remained a symbol of British presence and deterrence in the area. Today, little remains of the original fortifications, but the site is remembered for its role in safeguarding Nova Scotia during a pivotal era.
