HISTORY OF OLD FORT LEE
Was Abandoned by Order of General Washington.

The Fort Lee of revolutionary days was on top of the Palisades, about two miles up the river from the vilz iage of Edgewater. where the Fort Lee ferry has it's New Jersey landing In the strict sense of the word. Il was hardly worthy of being called fort. since it consisted merely of earth works Of which not a yestige IS to De seen today.
 Tradition says that the fort was laid out by Gen Israel Putnam and some of the historians thus account for the fact that the defenses were rather expansive for their purpose At first t was called Fort Gonstitu. tion but was soon renamed Fort Lee
 This temporary stronghold WAS really constructed to cooperate with Fort Washington. on the New York side of the Hudson. Tn the defense Of the river In the beginning Il was be lieFed that the two defenses would be able to turn the British war fleet back and prevent it from getting up the river to West Point
 But from the first Washington is known to have questioned it's useful ness and 1t was on his orders that tt was finally evacuated. In November 1776. all that was left of the American army in New Jersey abandoned the fort and set out on it's historic retreat to Philadelphia.
 Tradition says that there was fort under the cliff Of the river front at some point not far from Edgewater earlier Tn the revolution. but there is no authentic record of it's existence
