Fort Staunton is an area in Liberty City that appears in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, on Staunton Island. Surrounding the area are the districts of Rockford, Newport and Liberty Campus.

Overview

Fort Staunton, previously named Little Italy, was once a vibrant and lavish district. It is likely that many of the residents in Little Italy were Italians. The area was under control by the Forellis, who apparently had a large ammunition storage area underneath the district. Fort Staunton has many buildings, mostly stores and rowhomes. Notable buildings in Fort Staunton include an opera house, an Italian restaurant, and a museum.

In 1998, Fort Staunton was destroyed by Toni, after he placed several explosives in a disused subway station, via an unfinished section of the Porter Tunnel. Many buildings, including the opera house, were destroyed. After the explosion, many people blamed the Forellis for destroying the district.

By 2001, the area is in the process of demolishing blocks of old buildings and re-developing the entire property with the construction of Staunton Plaza. Panlantic Construction Company, in charge of the area's development, is suspected by the LCPD to be one of the many fronts for the Colombian Cartel, which may explain the presence of Cartel members and gang cars in the area.
