Fort Randolph was an American Revolutionary War fort which stood at the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers where the town of Point Pleasant West Virginia is now located. Built in 1776 on the site of an earlier fort from Dunmore’s War the fort is best remembered as the place where the famous Shawnee Chief Cornstalk was murdered in 1777. The fort withstood attack by American Indians in 1778 but was abandoned the next year.
