West Point, New York and Fort Clinton (West Point). So I know West Point, New York is a census-designated place. But both articles seem to have the same history and it seems to me that the only difference is that Fort Clinton (West Point) is the physical fort and West Point, New York is the site of the fort and the military academy. Still, West Point, New York has history for Fort Clinton (West Point). Any advice on the best course of action to take from here?

Are there instances of cities completely destroyed by the Mongols (like Genghis Khan or Kublai Khan) that never recovered and were actually erased from the map? 79.22.6.128 ( talk) 09:11, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
In December 1237 the Tartars besieged and captured Old Ryazan. The town suffered terrible destruction, traces of which appear in the archeological record. Life was soon renewed. The churches and fortifications were restored and new houses built. In the fourteenth century, however, the capital of the princedom was for several reasons, including repeated raids by Tartars because of its proximity to the steppe, transferred to Pereyaslavl-Ryazansky (renamed Ryazan in 1778). The old town gradually became deserted.(Archaelogy in The USSR, M.W. Thompson, 1961.)
