==History==
The settlement of Fort McKavett had its 1850s origins as a civilian population just north of Camp San Saba in Menard, County (not the Camp San Saba in McCulloch County), with the name of Scabtown. Camp San Saba closed in 1859, and many residents fled to safer areas to be protected against Indian depredations. The United States Army reopened the outpost in 1869 as Fort McKavett. As the civilian population of Scabtown grew, the community was renamed after Fort McKavett, and the local economy began to thrive. The Army closed the fort in 1883, but the earlier relocation of native American tribes made the civilians feel safe enough to remain. The population grew, and with it an economy that supported two hotels, three churches, a newspaper and a mattress factory. The population peaked at 150 at the beginning of the 20th century, but declined in the latter half of the century.
