Fort Cameron, Military fort in Beaver County, Utah.

Fort Cameron consists of several black rock buildings constructed along the north side of the Beaver River, housing military quarters and operational facilities.

The United States Army established Fort Cameron in 1872 as a strategic outpost to monitor local activities and provide military presence in the Utah Territory.

The fort included the only medical facility within 150 miles, serving both military personnel and local civilians during its operational period from 1872 to 1883.

The structures of Fort Cameron later transformed into Murdock Academy, which operated as a branch of Brigham Young Academy from 1898 until 1922.

The fort received its name in 1874 to honor Colonel James Cameron, who lost his life during the First Battle of Bull Run in 1861.
