| '''Fort Clatsop (1805-1806)''' - This fort was the first military establishment to be built in Oregon. It served [[Meriwether Lewis|Lewis]] and [[William Clark|Clark]] and the 33-member '''Corps of Discovery''' as winter quarters in 1805-06 as seven cabins surrounded by a 50 ft square stockade .
| |
|
| |
|
| The Corps built the original fort between 7 Dec 1805 and 30 Dec 1805 according to a plan that Clark had drawn on the back of his elk skin covered journal. They named the fort after a neighboring tribe of friendly Indians. The party left Fort Clatsop on 23 Mar 1806 and began the journey back east, abandoning the fort to the local Indian tribes.
