Camp Grant, Military fort site at San Pedro River junction, Arizona

Camp Grant operated as a military installation at the meeting point of San Pedro River and Aravaipa Creek in southeastern Arizona Territory.

Established in 1860 as Fort Breckinridge, the post underwent multiple name changes and relocations before settling as Camp Grant in 1865.

The fort served as a meeting point between U.S. military forces and Apache tribes, where food and work opportunities were exchanged for peace agreements.

The remaining foundations of the original Camp Grant rest on private land near Highway 77's intersection with East Putnam Street, north of Aravaipa Creek.

The site witnessed the tragic Camp Grant Massacre of 1871, when 144 Apache individuals lost their lives during an attack by local settlers and O'odham warriors.
