'''{{PAGENAME}}''' (1851-1862) - First established 23 Sep 1851 by Lt. Colonel [[Dixon S. Miles]] {{Cullum|387}}, and troops from the [[3rd U.S. Infantry]] at [[Fort Bliss]]. Named after U.S. President [[Millard Fillmore]]. Abandoned 10 Oct 1862.

== History ==
Initially established to control hostile Apache Indians, it became a stop on the Butterfield Overland Mail Route (1857-1861) and the El Paso-Fort Yuma Stage Line. The post was inspected by Colonel [[Joseph K.F. Mansfield]] 17-18 Oct 1854 who found the post garrisoned by four companies with a total of 8 commissioned officers and 269 rank and file available for duty. He was very complimentary about the post and command, declaring the quarters "the best in the Territory."

== [[U.S. Civil War]] ==
Garrisoned by Union forces commanded by Major [[Issac Lynde]] {{Cullum|501}} as the [[U.S. Civil War]] began. Confederates troops under Ltc. [[John R. Baylor]] captured the fort 26 Jul 1861 after the Union forces were forced to abandon it. The Confederates were forced out on 8 Jul 1862 as Union California Volunteers approached. Occupied by [[1st California Volunteer Cavalry]] under Ltc. [[Edward E. Eyre]] on 8 Jul 1862 but abandoned on 10 Oct 1862.
== Current Status ==
No visible remains.
