Sir Samuel Baker’s Fort at Patiko predates the British Empire’s Protectorate of Uganda. The Fort was constructed in 1872 as a base to tackle slave trade in the equatorial region. Baker presided over the Fort from 1872 to 1876. It was later occupied and expanded by Colonel Charles Gordon in 1879.
One hundred years after its construction, in 1972 the government gazetted it as a national historic monument.
