Gen. Arthur MacArthur, father of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. It was a training center during World War I, and the first large gun batteries for harbor defense were installed in 1917. The fort was decommissioned in 1976 and was turned over to the city of Los Angeles in 1982. Fort MacArthur Museum was established three years later at Battery Osgood-Farley. Two emplacements are listed on the National Register of Historic Places: Battery Osgood-Farley (in 1976) and Battery John Barlow and Saxton (in 1982).
