This month in Texas history
Date: July 31, 1867
On this day, Lt. Col. Samuel D. Sturgis and four companies of the Sixth Cavalry located the new post on a high plateau overlooking a bend of the Clear Fork of the Brazos River to the northeast. First designated as Camp Wilson, the name was changed to Fort Griffin in February 1868, in honor of General Charles Griffin, the commander of the Department of Texas who had died suddenly in September.
