Colson's Supply Depot Historical Marker, located in Mt. Gilead, NC, commemorates a fortified supply depot established in 1781 to support General Nathanael Greene's army during the American Revolutionary War. Constructed under the supervision of Polish engineer General Thaddeus Kosciuszko, the depot was strategically positioned on a high hill near the Pee Dee River, providing a commanding view of the surrounding area.

The site, originally known for its stockade and trenches, played a crucial role in military logistics until the end of the war when it was abandoned. Over time, locals began referring to the area as Fort Hill, reflecting its historical significance in the region's Revolutionary history.
