In 1835, Sir Benjamin D’Urban approved the creation of Fort Brown, one of the Lewis Line of six forts planned by Lieutenant Colonel G Lewis, commanding officer of the Royal Engineer Cape of Good Hope, during the Sixth Frontier War. The fort, named after Lieutenant Robert Boyd Brown of the 75th Regiment who was in command there during the war. Fort Brown was occupied until 1861. This was one of the larger frontier forts and comprised a 4 metre square stone tower above a magazine, quarters, barracks and stables. Under the tower was a cellar which served as a powder magazine. A 3 pounder swivel gun was initially mounted on the tower. In 1842 and 1843 further buildings were added including several kitchens and accommodation for officers and NCOs. At this time the surrounding stone wall with sloped coping was completed. Fort Brown was declared a national monument in 1938. Fort Brown is currently a police post. The gun tower and adjoining walls are in good condition. A small cemetery lies adjacent to the fort and a number of military graves are located in the yard.
