Established 14 Sep 1863 as Fort Bartlett by BG Alfred Sully, during his campaign against hostile Sioux Indians in the Dakota Territory.
The post was built as a 270 foot square with barracks lining the east and west walls. The south wall contained the gate, the hospital, quarters and the guardhouse. The north wall was a palisade that included the officers quarters and a warehouse. The northwest and south east corners contained bastions.
The post was abandoned 25 Jul 1866 and relocated about 25 miles above the city of Fort Pierre.
