'''Fort George''' was an extension to the fortified walls of [[Bombay]] (now Mumbai) built in 1769; it was in the present-day [[Fort (Mumbai precinct)|Fort]] area, to the east of the site of the former [[Dongri Fort]]. The hill on which the Dongri fort stood was razed, and in its place Fort George was built. In 1862, the fort was demolished.

==History==
The fort was {{convert|1|mi|km}} long and about {{convert|1/3|mi|m|-2|spell=in}} wide. Its length ran from NNE to SSW, and it was named in honour of [[George III of the United Kingdom]].
