- Forty Fort is a borough in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, United States. Its neighbors are Wyoming (to the north), Plains Township (to the east), Kingston (to the south), and Swoyersville (to the west). The Wilkes-Barre Wyoming Valley Airport and the Wyoming Seminary Lower School are both located in the borough.
During the Revolutionary War, British forces arrived in the Wyoming Valley on June 30, 1778. The next day, Colonel Butler sent a surrender demand to the militia at Fort Wintermute. Terms were arranged that the defenders, after surrendering the fort with all their arms, would be released on the condition that they would not again bear arms during the war. On July 3, however, the British saw that the defenders were gathering in great numbers outside of Forty Fort. This led to the Battle of Wyoming.

I love this video! I´m hoping you´ll make a video of Wyoming, Pa., next. My home town, I lived on 3rd St. there. You might video Queen Esthers rock where an Indian matriarch used to execute enemies in the 1700s. And the monument for Revolutionary War local soldiers.
I grew up in Forty Fort. I haven't been back in more than twenty years and this is SOOOOO cool!
And still...a bumper crop of potholes.
