Fort Hawkins, established in 1806 by President Thomas Jefferson and Indian Agent Colonel Benjamin Hawkins, served as an official U.S. Army fort and Indian factory for trading and engaging with Native Americans in Middle Georgia. Overlooking ancient Indian mounds sacred to the Muskogee Creek Nation, it was strategically located at the western frontier of the time.

Situated near significant landmarks such as the Ocmulgee River and the Lower Creek Trading Path, Fort Hawkins played a pivotal role in the region's history, eventually leading to the founding of the city of Macon across the river seventeen years later. Today, it stands as a testament to the early interactions between settlers and Native Americans in the area.
