Fort Totten State Historic Site is a historic site in Fort Totten, North Dakota. ==History== Established on July 17, 1867,〔Robert W. Frazer: ''Forts of the West, Military Forts and Presidios and Posts Commonly Called Forts West of the Mississippi River to 1898'', University of Oklahoma Press, Norman, Okla., 1965, p. 115.〕 the fort was first built to watch over the surrounding Indian Reservation after a group of the Dakota tribe moved to the area after 1867. The soldiers were stationed to enforce the peace and guard transportation routes. The Fort was also the gathering point for an expedition to survey the border between the United States and British Canada in the 1870s. The fort was decommissioned in 1890. It was then turned over to the Bureau of Indian Affairs where until 1959 it was used as a Native American boarding school. Fort Totten became a North Dakota State Historic Site in 1960 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. It was named for United States Army Corps of Engineers head Joseph Gilbert Totten, who also has forts named for him in Washington, DC and New York.
