In the beginning

In the beginning, Fortsville was listed as a part of St. John’s River City.

In 1878, the legislature approved the “laying out and running off” of a road from Fortsville to the Saint John’s River.

In 1893, a sum of $1,150 was granted by the legislature to build bridges and throw up causeway in Bexley, Hartford and Fortsville.
