Fort Yamhill
}}
Fort Yamhill was an American military fortification in what became the state of Oregon. Built in 1856 in the Oregon Territory, it remained an active post until 1866. The Army outpost was used to provide a presence next to the Grand Ronde Agency Coastal Reservation. Several officers stationed at the United States Army post prior to the American Civil War would later serve as generals in that war.
==Construction==
Built in Polk County, Oregon, the outpost consisted of a wooden blockhouse, sentry box, barracks, officers’ quarters, carpenter's shop, hospital, cook houses, blacksmith shop, tables, barn, sutler’s store, and laundress quarters.〔(Fort Yamhill Master Plan History. ) Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. Retrieved on February 19, 2008.〕 The wood blockhouse was built to provide a refuge to settlers of the area in case of attack by the Native Americans.〔 After the fort was abandoned the block house was moved from the hill it was positioned on and served as a jail in the Valley Junction area, and later moved about east to Dayton.〔
Total cost to build the fort was $36,053.〔 The post’s first troops were under the command of William Babcock Hazen.〔Corning, Howard M. ''Dictionary of Oregon History''. Binfords & Mort Publishing, 1956.〕 This garrison consisted of 76 men under three officers, but was reduced in 1858 to two officers and 33 enlisted men.〔
