| Fort Flagler, along with [[:Category:Fort Worden|Fort Worden]] and [[:Category:Fort Casey|Fort Casey]], guarded the entrance to Puget Sound. These posts, established in the late 1890's, became the first line of a fortification system designed to prevent a hostile fleet from reaching the Bremerton Naval Yard and the cities of Seattle, Tacoma and Everett. The property was purchased as a state park in 1955.
