Notes

1. Sources authoritative with regard to National Register listing parameters give different forms of the fort's name, including Fuerte de la Concepción from the fort's nomination form, Fuerte de la Concepcion from the official weekly announcement of National Register actions, and Fuerte de la Conception from the comprehensive National Register database. This article adopts the first of these, Fuerte de la Concepción, because it offers the most proper Spanish orthography.
