Historic
Fort Hamilton is located in the southwestern corner of
Brooklyn, New York on Long Island, surrounded by the
communities of Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and Bensonhurst. This
places us in the middle of the New York City Metropolitan
area. The base operator's phone number is 718-630-4754 or DSN
312-232-4754.
History
The cornerstone of this coastal defense fort was set in 1825,
and the first garrison flag was raised in 1831. While many of
the original structures are gone, some having yielded to the
construction of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, still part of
the old fort remains on the grounds of the United States Army
Fort Hamilton Garrison. Colonels Row, the Fort Hamilton
Community Club, Lee House and the Harbor Defense Museum are on
the National Register of Historic Places. The historic museum
is located in the caponier of the old fort and is virtually
untouched. Today, Fort Hamilton is under the command of the
Military District of Washington. Fort Hamilton is also the
home of the New York City Recruiting Battalion, the Military
Entrance Processing Station, and the North Atlantic Division
headquarters of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Fort Hamilton
also supports many Reserve and National Guard units.
Mission
The US Army Garrison Fort Hamilton provides effective and
efficient management of government resources to support
mission readiness, improve infrastructure, preserve the
environment, and enable the well-being and safety of service
members, civilians, and family members. Fort Hamilton also
serves as a power projection platform in the New York City
Metropolitan area.

Because of its unique location, Fort Hamilton is a combined
community comprised of active duty Army, Navy, Air Force,

of off post military, reservists, veterans and a large
