The Neutral Strip was created after the 1803 Louisiana Purchase, from which arose a disagreement about the location of the border between the US and Spanish territories.

This region stretched from Sabine River to Arroyo Hondo and encompassed the land that now makes up modern Sabine Parish. The Neutral Strip remained devoid of government and law enforcement until the Adams-Onis Treaty of 1819 finally set the border at the Sabine River.
Future U. S. President General Zachary Taylor was in charge of Fort Jesup for the entire time that it was active. Zachary Taylor (November 24 1784 &ndash July 9 1850 was an American military leader and the twelfth President of the United States. He quickly subdued the Neutral Strip, gaining experience and popularity.

Taylor’s army participated in the Mexican War of 1846, gaining popularity for Taylor that would propel his political career.
After the United States won the Mexican War and gained control of Texas, Fort Jesup was rendered unnecessary. The fort was officially evacuated in 1846 and was allowed to deteriorate.
