The fort was used as a launching position for American forces during the Battle of Rhode Island. The site was named after Lt. Col. William Barton who successfully captured the British General Prescott during a midnight raid on the British headquarters at Prescott Farm on Rhode Island (Aquidneck Island). Fort Barton was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
