The first incarnation of the fort, which the Spanish called San Carlos de Austria, was built in 1698; it was rebuilt a century later by the Spanish as Fort Barrancas. The Americans took control of the fort during the War of 1812 and rebuilt it during the Second Seminole War. Unlike many of Florida's forts dating from the Seminole Wars, its reconstruction was completed in brick, leaving it as a bulwark of American power at a time when the Seminoles were capturing wooden forts. Fort Barrancas played an active role in conflict during the Civil War, but became outdated and was deactivated after World War II. Since 1980, it has been a public park with a visitor center on site.
