Fort Sumner is a historic village located in De Baca County, New Mexico. Originally established as a military fort in 1862, it served as a site for the internment of Navajo and Mescalero Apache peoples during the Long Walk period, a dark chapter in American history. The fort was later abandoned in 1869, and the area developed into a civilian settlement.
Fort Sumner is perhaps best known as the location where notorious outlaw Billy the Kid was killed by Sheriff Pat Garrett in 1881. Today, the community preserves its rich history through various cultural sites, including the Billy the Kid Museum and the Bosque Redondo Memorial, which commemorates the Native American internment period. The village continues to serve as an important historical landmark that helps visitors understand the complex military, Native American, and frontier history of the American Southwest.
