Fort Sherman (Idaho)
Fort Sherman (1878–1900) was located in the United States at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.[1] General William T. Sherman (1820–91) had recommended the site in north Idaho after an inspection tour in 1877. It began as a camp the next year, became Fort Coeur d'Alene in 1879, and the adjacent city grew.[2][3] Sherman later visited the fort[4] and it was named for him in 1887,[5] three years after his retirement from the U.S. Army.[6] The fort became unoccupied during the Spanish–American War and was abandoned shortly after.[7] The site is now the campus of North Idaho College.[5][8][9]
