Fort Davis is a historic town located in Jeff Davis County, Texas, nestled in the Davis Mountains of West Texas. Originally established in 1854 as a military post, Fort Davis served as a key defensive position along the San Antonio-El Paso Road and played a crucial role in protecting settlers, mail coaches, and freight wagons from raids. The fort was named after then-Secretary of War Jefferson Davis, who later became the president of the Confederate States.
Today, the Fort Davis National Historic Site preserves one of the best remaining examples of a frontier military post in the American Southwest, offering visitors insight into military life during the Indian Wars period. The town, situated at an elevation of over 5,000 feet, is known for its mild climate, scenic mountain views, and rich cultural heritage that blends Native American, Hispanic, and Anglo-American influences. The area's cultural significance extends beyond its military history, with nearby attractions including the McDonald Observatory, which has contributed to both scientific research and public education since its establishment in 1932.
