Fort King was a United States military fort in north central Florida, near what later developed as the city of Ocala. The fort was built in 1827. It later served as a courthouse in 1844 after the organization of Marion County, but was eventually abandoned altogether. The site of the fort is preserved as a National Historic Landmark near the corner of East Fort King Street and 39th Avenue in Ocala. In late 2017, the fort was newly reconstructed to be as historically accurate as possible.
