Fort Nogales

Fort Nogales was an 18th-century Spanish colonial fort in West Florida, at the confluence of the Yazoo River and the Mississippi River. The fort stood at the site of present-day Vicksburg, Warren County, Mississippi, United States. The name Nogales means walnuts in Spanish. The name of the Spanish fort and the early 19th-century American settlement called Walnut Hills were both named for the groves of Juglans nigra in the woods surrounding the settlement.
