Fort Columbia was constructed between 1896 and 1903 and was one of three forts built to defend the mouth of the Columbia River from enemy warships. The three forts, Fort Columbia, Fort Canby, and Fort Stevens, were manned until the end of WWII.

After being decommissioned, the forts were turned into State Parks.
