Do you know of Fort Garrett ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Fort Garrett. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Fort Garrett.<1>

Our sources for Fort Garrett (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Fort Garrett other than they indicate that Fort Garrett would be found somewhere in Woodford County, Kentucky.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1891 and closed  in 1917.
