Notes

  1. ↑ Sources authoritative with regard to National Register listing parameters give different forms of the fort's name, including Fuerte de la Concepción from the fort's nomination form,[1] Fuerte de la Concepcion from the official weekly announcement of National Register actions,[2] and Fuerte de la Conception from the comprehensive National Register database.[3] This article adopts the first of these, Fuerte de la Concepción, because it offers the most proper Spanish orthography.
