Fort Stanton, named for Captain Henry Stanton, was originally established to control the Mescalero Apache Indians in 1855. It was burned and evacuated by Union trips in 1861, held briefly by the Confederates, and then reoccupied for the Union by Colonel Kit Carson and the famous Buffalo Soldiers, in 1862. Since its abandonment as a military post, it has been used as a hospital and housing for German and Japanese Prisoners of War during WWII.
