Introduction
Text-to-speech Audio
Fort Davis is located in Texas. First it was settled by the Indian tribe name Chihuahua. The Fort is the site for the oldest Indian tribe. After 1867, when troops of the Ninth United States Cavalry reoccupied the fort, the town of Fort Davis became "the most important town in the Trans-Pecos country," by virtue of its position at the crossroads of two important trails and its status as a base for travelers and hunters. Around 1900 the mild climate and location amid the Davis Mountains made Fort Davis a popular summer resort for wealthy Gulf Coast families.
