| '''{{PAGENAME}} (1856-1862)''' - Established 28 Jul 1856 after the [[Rogue River Indian War]] to help guard the Siletz Indian Reservation to the north. As many as 300 soldiers were assigned to the fort, which was built next to Umpqua City. The fort closed in 1862 when the troops were mustered to fight in the Civil War and the government auctioned off the buildings. The two-story 40-foot-by-40-foot log blockhouse was moved to Gardiner and was turned into a sawmill. Many of the other buildings were converted to civilian use or razed for salvage. The residents of Umpqua City moved away, and nature reclaimed the area.
