The East Gate at Fort York faced the Town of York, located two kilometres away. Military personnel, civilian visitors and contractors entered and exited through this gate and were checked in and out routinely by army staff in the Guard House, which was located just inside the fort's walls. Those making their way to and from the fort also had to cross over Garrison Creek by way of a wooden bridge.
