Fort Moultrie was the first fort built on Sullivan’s Island to protect the port city of Charleston, South Carolina.

It is said that when the British forces fired on the yet to be completed or named fort in 1776, the soft palmetto logs absorbed the shock and little damage occurred forcing the British warships to retire nine hours later. In recognition of his successful defense of the fort, it was named in honor of the American commander of the battle, William Moultrie.
