In 1824, increasing tensions between the Cherokee and Osage nations led the US Army to relocate from Fort Smith, AR, to a point 3 miles upstream from the convergence of the Arkansas, Grand and Verdigris rivers.
  
Colonel Arbuckle oversaw construction of a wooden stockade named Cantonment Gibson in honor of Colonel George Gibson. The Army served at the fort until 1871.
  
In 1872, after the coming of the railroad, the fort was reactivated. By 1890, the Army abandoned Fort Gibson permanently.
  
Muskogee was incorporated in 1898 under provisions of the Dawes Commission that allowed settlement into the Indian Territory of eastern Oklahoma. The city's name evolved from the Creek Indian Tribe who called this area Muscogee.
