 Earthen batteries comprise the fort and were used as platforms and shields for the Confederate cannons.
 Beneath some of the earthworks were "bombproofs," shelters used by troops during enemy bombardment.
 The Confederacy decided to build forts around the Cape Fear River to protect the port of Wilmington from the Union blockade.
 During the Civil War, blockade runners brought supplies such as iron, guns, and ammunition to the Confederacy.
 The purpose of the fort was to hinder movement of Union ships, and to serve as a dropping off point for blockade runners fortunate enough to make it up the mouth of the Cape Fear River.
 Fort Anderson was built on the ruins of Brunswick Town and was originally named Fort St. Philip, after the ruins of the Revolutionary period church nearby.
 The name was changed to honor Col. George B. Anderson.
