About

Fort Shirley is a historic military outpost on the Caribbean island of Dominica. It was built by the British in 1765, and was named for Sir Thomas Shirley. The fort was the location of the 1802 revolt of the 8th West India Regiment. Today, Fort Shirley is part of Cabrits National Park, which was established as a national park in 1986.
