Russian Fort Elizabeth State Historical Park marks a short Russian history on the island of Kauai. Hawaiians began construction on the site in 1816 and it was finished one year later. The remains of this Russian-engineered, Hawaiian-built fort and the surrounding terrain comprise this park of 17 acres. The structure grew from a defense agreement between the ruling chief of Kauai and the Russian-American Company. By the time the fort was complete the islands of Hawaii had been united under Kamehamema and the Russians were expelled from Kauai. The site is a registered National Historic Landmark.
