Talk:Fort George (New York)

Not great

This page is lacking a lot of information. I came here wondering who the Manhattan neighbourhood was named after. Logic suggests it was George Washington, though earlier forts appear to have been named after three different Georges (none of whom are mentioned), which to my mind makes it questionable that the forts are all lumped together in this page. The final sentence also includes that red line language 'It is generally agreed'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adagio67 (talk • contribs) 09:25, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

The Manhattan neighborhood is named for the fort that was there, the last one mentioned in this article. That the fort was named for George Washington is pretty obvious, especially considering that another sub-neighborhood, now usually called "Hudson Heights", is sometimes called "Fort Washington" (which is also the name of an avenue).
