| '''Fort Defiance (1851-1861)''' - Established September 18, 1851 by Col. [[Edwin V. Sumner]] to patrol the Navajo Territory after several treaty attempts failed. Captain [[Electrus Backus]] built the sod and log fort. The post was abandoned on 28 Apr 1861 at the beginning of the [[U.S. Civil War]]. It became an Indian Agency in 1868.
