Description

Fort Stanton (built 1855) was a U.S. military fort built in New Mexico in the United States. It was established to protect settlements along the Rio Bonito in the Apache Wars. Kit Carson, John "Black Jack" Pershing, Billy the Kid, and Buffalo Soldiers of the 9th Cavalry all lived here.
Confederate forces occupied the outpost in the beginning of the American Civil War after the post was abandoned with the withdrawal of U.S. forces in the region.[6]
The Fort was originally established in part as the Mescalero Apache reservation. In 1873 the reservation was moved 30 miles southwest and that location remains the current reservation.
Fort Stanton property became America's first federal tuberculosis hospital.In World War II it interned both German and Japanese.
