Established in 1840 by Jonathan Bird on the Military Rd. from Red River to Austin. In its vicinity an important Indian treaty, marking the line between the Indians and the white settlements, was signed September 29, 1843, by Edward H. Tarrant and George W. Terrell, representing the Republic of Texas. The ragged remnant of the ill-fated Snively expedition sought refuge here, August 6, 1843. (1936)

| StoppingPoints.com Editorial on Site of Bird's Fort: | | Note: There appears to no longer be a historical marker at this entry's location, and there's apparently no longer a Gun Club at this location. As of 4/26/2009, the site appears to be on the grounds of a large, private, commercial construction company and is unreachable. The historical marker may be found nearby, inside the entrance to the River Legacy Park entrance: Bird's Fort Historical Marker, off Collins in Arlington. |
