Fort Ellis, Military fort in Gallatin Valley, Montana, United States.
The fort encompassed multiple buildings, barracks, and a parade ground situated east of present-day Bozeman near the Gallatin Valley entrance.
Established in 1867 by Captain R.S. LaMotte and three companies of the 13th U.S. Infantry to protect settlers and miners in Montana Territory.
The fort served as a base for military operations and interactions between settlers, soldiers, and Native American tribes during the western expansion period.
The location now houses the Agricultural Experimental Station operated by Montana State University, with the former Commanding Officer's quarters still standing.
Fort Ellis troops participated in major campaigns, including Colonel John Gibbon's operations leading to the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876.
