Description

Apache warriors at Camp Apache, Arizona.

From its founding in 1870 until Geronimo’s capture in 1886, Fort Apache, Arizona was regularly involved in the Indian Wars of the area. It was first called Camp Ord, in honor of General Edward Otho Cresap Ord, Commander of Arizona, when it was built in the spring; however, just a few months later, the name was changed to Camp Mogollon in August, then Camp Thomas in September.

The post was finally designated as Camp Apache on February 2, 1871, as a token of friendship to the very Indians the fort soldiers would soon spend so many years at war with. The fort’s initial purpose was to guard the nearby White Mountain Reservation and Indian agency.
