History{{See also|Battle of Point Pleasant}}Hockingport was the site of a pre-revolutionary military camp and fortification built in Oct. 1774 by Virginia militiamen under Lord Dunmore at the confluence of the Hocking and Ohio Rivers called Fort Gower. The fort served as the base camp for the militia during Dunmore's War. It was the namesake fort of the Fort Gower Resolves issued by the soldiers stationed there in Nov. 1774. Among the officers present were many Virginians that would go on to become famous during the revolution. Present were William Campbell, George Rogers Clark, William Crawford, Simon Kenton, Andrew Lewis, Daniel Morgan, William Russell, Adam Stephen and many others. The fort was abandoned after Dunmore's War. Today the site of the fort is believed to be under water just beyond the point. A post office called Hockingport has been in operation since 1838.[4] The community was a shipping point on the Hocking River, hence the name.[5] References1. ^{{gnis|2628901}} {{Athens County, Ohio}}{{coord|39|11|17|N|81|45|06|W|type:city_region:US-OH_source:GNIS-enwiki|display=title}}{{AthensCountyOH-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web| url=http://factfinder2.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_DP/G001/1600000US3935826| title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Hockingport CDP, Ohio| publisher=U.S. Census Bureau, American Factfinder| accessdate=July 10, 2013}} 3. ^Zip Code Lookup 4. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.postalhistory.com/postoffices.asp?task=display&state=OH&county=Athens | title=Athens County | publisher=Jim Forte Postal History | accessdate=31 December 2015}} 5. ^{{cite book|title=History of Hocking Valley, Ohio: together with sketches of its cities, villages and townships|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3elPAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA659|year=1883|publisher=Inter-State Pub.
