Some info on Fort Barrancas below.
Fort Barrancas, located on a barrier island, was one of four fortified areas that marked the southern defenses. Fort Barrancas has been a site for harbor fortifications since 1763, when the British built a fort. The Spanish captured Pensacola from the British in 1781 and constructed their own fortification on the site, calling it San Carlos de Barranca. The Spanish word barranca means bluff, which fairly describes the location of the fort.
