Comments A Mexican military post at the intersection of the Liberty-Nacogdoches Road and the Coushatta Trace founded to prevent entry of Americans and southeastern Indians into Mexican Texas. The marker was originally near the presumed location of Fort Teran but was moved to higher ground in anticipation of the Rockland Dam, which was never bullt. The precise site of the fort has never been located.
