Forty Fort is a borough in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 4,579 at the 2000 census. It neighbors the surrounding boroughs of Kingston, Wyoming, and Swoyersville. The Wilkes-Barre Wyoming Valley Airport and the Susquehanna River dike are both located in the borough. Forty Fort was prominent in the Pennamite-Yankee War and in the American Revolution. In the vicinity of this fort occurred, in 1778, the infamous Wyoming Massacre. The first forty settlers from Connecticut built the fort, which explains how the borough got its name. Forty Fort is home to the oldest building known in all of what is considered northeastern Pennsylvania, the Forty Fort Meeting House, located in the borough's cemetery. The meeting house has survived since the late 1700s. In late October, 2005, Forty Fort's Wyoming Seminary Lower School launched a thus-far successful attempt "to save" the building from damage and preserve it as a recollection of past historic memories of Forty Fort. Forty Fort also hosts the historical Nathan Denision house. Denision served as colonel of the militia the area during the American Revolution. Featured Homes in Forty Fort, PA
