A Look Back in Time: Redwood's History
Redwood is famous for being the location of an old French fort called Fort Saint-Pierre. This fort was built way back in 1719 by French settlers. They were part of a large French territory called La Louisiane française.
However, the fort did not last forever. Just ten years later, in 1729, Native American groups destroyed Fort Saint-Pierre. This event is an important part of Redwood's early history.
