Camp Grant

Camp Grant was the name used between 1866 and 1872 for a United States military post at the confluence of the San Pedro River and Aravaipa Creek in Arizona Territory, near the site of the Camp Grant massacre. The post was first built in 1860 as Fort Breckinridge and, between 1860 and 1873, was abandoned or destroyed and rebuilt several times under a variety of names. In 1872 the old Camp Grant on the San Pedro River, in present-day Pinal County, was replaced by a new Fort Grant at the base of Mount Graham, in present-day Graham County. Little evidence of the old post is visible today.
