Fort Belknap, located near Newcastle, Texas, was established in November 1851 by brevet Brigadier General William G. Belknap to protect the Texas frontier against raids by the Kiowa and Comanche. It was the northernmost fort in a line from the Rio Grande to the Red River. The fort functioned as a base of operations rather than as a fortified point, and it became the center of a substantial network of roads, including the Butterfield Overland Mail. The fort was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960, in recognition of its key role in securing the Texas frontier in the 1850s and 1860s.

  • Fort Belknap est un ancien poste militaire de la United States Army établi le 24 juin 1851 sur la rive droite de la du fleuve Brazos, près de la ville actuelle de Newcastle au Texas. Nommé d'après le lieutenant-colonel (en) qui sélectionna l'emplacement du site, le fort était initialement destiné à protéger les émigrants empruntant la piste allant de Fort Smith en Arkansas à Santa Fe ainsi que les colons installés dans la région contre les attaques des Amérindiens. Abandonné le 23 février 1859 à cause du manque d'eau, il fut temporairement occupé durant la guerre de Sécession par des troupes texanes. Des troupes de l'US Army le réoccupèrent brièvement à partir de mai 1867 avant d'être définitivement abandonné en septembre 1867 après l'établissement de Fort Griffin. (fr)
