Fort Ross
Форт-Росс
The fortified settlement was founded in 1812 by Ivan Kuskov of the Russian-American Company and until 1841 was the southernmost Russian settlement in North America. In 1841 the company sold the fort's assets to John Sutter. The State of California acquired the site in 1906; the fort has been a U.S. National Historic Landmark since 1961.
Укреплённое поселение основано в 1812 году Иваном Кусковым, служащим Российско-американской компании, и до 1841 года было самым южным русским поселением в Северной Америке. В 1841 году компания продала имущество форта Джону Саттеру. В 1906 году участок приобрёл штат Калифорния; с 1961 года форт имеет статус Национального исторического памятника США.
