Yuma Quartermaster Depot State Historic Park, Military supply depot in Yuma, Arizona, United States.
The Yuma Quartermaster Depot contains warehouses, officer quarters, and storage buildings spread across a desert landscape near the Colorado River.
Established in 1864, this military supply station distributed food, clothing, and ammunition to army posts across Arizona, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Texas.
Native American tribes, military personnel, and settlers intersected at this strategic location, forming a nexus of social interactions during territorial expansion.
The visitor center provides guided tours of five original buildings, interpretive exhibits, and detailed information about military supply operations from 1864 to 1883.
Steam-powered machinery at the depot pumped water from the Colorado River through a network of pipes, making it the first water supply system in the region.
