fort mann was the first settlement of nonindigenous people in the area that became dodge city, built by civilians in 1847 (the territory then being part of mexico) to provide protection for travelers on the santa fe trail. fort mann collapsed in 1848 after an indian attack. in 1850, the u.s. army arrived to provide protection in the region and constructed fort atkinson on the old fort mann site. the army abandoned fort atkinson in 1853. military forces on the santa fe trail were re-established farther north and east at fort larned in 1859, but the area remained vacant around what would become dodge city until the end of the civil war. in april 1865, the indian wars in the west began heating up, and the army constructed fort dodge to assist fort larned in providing protection on the santa fe trail. fort dodge remained in operation until 1882.
