Fort Defiance

Fort Defiance was a U.S. military post established in the early 19th century in what is now Arizona, serving as a vital communication and supply hub for the southwestern frontier. It was originally built to support troop movements and trade routes between American territories and Native American tribes. Over time, it also became a strategic location during various conflicts, including the Apache Wars. Today, Fort Defiance is recognized for its historical significance and is also a Navajo community, reflecting its longstanding cultural importance in the region.
