town, heritage
Fort Cobb was established as a US Army frontier post in Indian Territory on October 1, 1859. The post was later occupied by both Southern and Northern forces during the Civil War.
Later, General George Armstrong Custer's command was encamped at Fort Cobb from Dec. 18, 1868, to Jan. 6, 1869. Shortly after that on March 12, 1869, the fort was abandoned. This fort is what the town got its name from.
