West Point is the oldest continuously occupied military post in the United States. [3] Located on the Hudson River in New York, General George Washington stationed his headquarters in West Point in the summer and fall of 1779 during the American Revolutionary War, [4] and later called it "the most important Post in America" in 1781 following war's end. [5] West Point also was the site of General Benedict Arnold's infamous and failed attempt at treason during the Revolutionary War. [6]

Contents

West Point was first occupied by the United States Armed Forces on January 27, 1778, when Brigadier General Samuel Holden Parsons and his brigade, including elements of Connecticut Colony's patriot militia, crossed an iced over Hudson River and climbed to the plain on West Point. [7] From then to the present, West Point has been occupied by the United States Army. [8] It comprises approximately 16,000 acres (6,500 ha) including the campus of the United States Military Academy, [9] which is commonly called "West Point" as well. [10]

West Point is a census-designated place (CDP) located in the town of Highlands in Orange County, [11] [12] located on the western bank of the Hudson River. The population was 7,341 at the 2020 census. [13] It is part of the New York–Newark–Jersey City, NY–NJ–PA Metropolitan Statistical Area as well as the larger New York–Newark, NY–NJ–CT–PA Combined Statistical Area.

History

American Revolutionary War

Construction

The site for West Point was originally picked because of the abnormal S-curve in the Hudson River at that point during the American Revolutionary War, and was the subject of a committee reporting on fortifications in the Hudson River in November 1775, which first recommended occupying the land. [5] Construction of the fort was begun under Captain Louis de la Radiere [14] as chief engineer of the fort, however, New York Governor George Clinton thought that Radiere as "lacking" in the knowledge needed to hold his position. [5] Thus it was completed under Polish Colonel Tadeusz Kościuszko between 1778–1780; it was a key defensive fortification, overlooking the turn in the Hudson River and the Great Chain. [15]

General George Washington watched the construction of the fort closely and considered the fort to be General Alexander McDougall's "first priority". [5]

In 1778, Major General Israel Putnam wrote, "The place agreed upon to obstruct the navigation of Hudson river was at West Point." A fort there, Fort Clinton, named after the governor's brother, Colonel James Clinton [lower-alpha 1] (whose brigade built the main fort), was built as well. The southern and western walls were nine feet high and twenty feet thick. Three redoubts and batteries on the south were named Forts Meigs, Wyllys, and Webb. [16] : 53, 55

After construction

West Point was staffed by a small garrison of Continental Army Soldiers from early in 1776 through the end of the war. A great iron chain was laid across the Hudson at this point in 1778 in order to prevent British Navy vessels from sailing further up the Hudson River, which was never tested by the British. [17]

The site comprised multiple redoubts, as well as Fort Putnam, situated on a high hill overlooking the river. Named after its builder, Revolutionary War General and engineer Rufus Putnam, the fort is still preserved in its original design. [18] [19]

Near losses
Capture of Stony Point and Verplanck's Point

Parliament sent instructions to General Sir Henry Clinton to force George Washington out of West Point. Clinton decided to capture the strategically important posts Stony Point and Verplanck's Point, [20] which were twelve miles south of West Point. Clinton captured the forts on June 1, 1779. To block the British advance, Washington moved his troops further up the Hudson. [5]

Betrayal of Benedict Arnold

Early on in May 1779, General Benedict Arnold had met with a Philadelphia merchant named Joseph Stansbury. Afterwards Stansbury had gone to Sir Henry Clinton, to whom he offered Arnold's "services". Clinton had been pursuing a campaign to take control of the Hudson River, so he had been interested in the plans and information of the defenses of West Point and other defenses on the Hudson River. Arnold wrote a series of letters to Clinton, one of which was written on July 12, making explicit the offer to surrender West Point to the British, later for a finalized offer of £20,000. On August 3, 1780, Arnold obtained command of West Point, which also gave him command of the American-controlled portion of the Hudson. Arnold then intentionally started weakening the fort's defenses, and through a letter sent to Clinton, proposing a meeting with British Major John André to discuss information on West Point. A meeting was set for September 11, however, Arnold and André did not meet until September 21. Carrying the plans for West Point, André was captured on September 23 by three militiamen, and the information to West Point was found. [6] After Arnold's betrayal, the fort, which was also known as Fort Arnold at the time, was renamed to Fort Clinton after General James Clinton. [21]

Post-war

After the conclusion of the American Revolution, West Point was used as a storage facility for cannon and other military property used by the Continental Army [22] and until November 28, 1779 was used as the temporary headquarters to George Washington. [5] Viewing a standing army as "dangerous", Congress demobilized American forces but left fewer than a hundred men at West Point. [5] However, it was still the largest post in the army in the immediate years after the Revolutionary War. [23]

Favoring West Point due to its location and defenses, Henry Knox and Alexander Hamilton made the first official recommendation to establish a military academy at West Point in 1790. However, Congress rejected the proposal, although earlier in 1790, New York merchant and American Revolution patriot Stephen Moore sold his estate (known as "Moore's Folly") to the United States, following an Act of Congress that solidified the sale [24] which meant Congress had gained full possession of the fort. [5] The United States Military Academy was established at West Point in 1802 [25] [26] and is the nation's oldest service academy. [27] West Point has the distinction of being the longest continuously occupied United States military installation. [8]
