Fort Sully (South Dakota)
Fort Sully was one of the main military posts located on the east bank of the Missouri river in central Dakota built for use in the Indian Wars. There were two forts named Sully—old Fort Sully, which was in existence and occupied from 1863 to 1866, and the later, or new Fort Sully, which was established in 1866 and was continuously occupied as a military fort until its abandonment in the fall of 1894.
==Old Fort Sully==
Old Fort Sully , in present day Hughes County, was built by the orders of Major General Alfred Sully in September 1863 and was named for him. It was located about eighty rods from the left (east) bank of the Missouri River, a short distance above the head of Farm Island and about four and one-half miles southeast of what is now the city of Pierre, South Dakota. It was square and was built of cottonwood timber taken from Farm Island.
A portion of the command of General Sully in the campaigns〔(DAKOTA EXPEDITIONS OF SIBLEY AND SULLY )〕 of 1863-4 and 1865 against the Sioux was garrisoned at old Fort Sully. It was abandoned in the fall of 1866 on account of Its unhealthful location on the lowlands of the Missouri.〔''South Dakota historical collections'', Volume 1, South Dakota State Historical Society, South Dakota, Dept. of History, State Publishing Co., 1902.〕 Today the site is located within the Farm Island State Recreation Area.
