- Fort San Bernardino
- (Morman Camp,
Morman Stockade)
- In 1851 Mormons built
a 300-by-720-foot, 12-foot-high stockade when the town of San
Bemardino was threatened d by an Indian attack. The post, later
renamed Fort San Bemardino, soon extended far beyond its original
limits. In 1855 small elements of the Army were
stationed here for a short time. The site is now occupied by
the courthouse located on Arrowhead Avenue between 3rd and 4th
Streets in the center of downtown San Bernardino.
