The History of Fort Riley
Fort Riley‘s earliest history connects with the vast movement of Americans that made their way on the Oregon and Santa Fe trails. The United State government built military posts along the busy trade routes to protect migrants and commerce. In June of 1953, Camp Center changed names to Fort Riley to honor Major General Bennett C. Riley, who spearheaded the first military escort on the Santa Fe Trail. After the Civil War, Fort Riley returned to its primary mission of providing protection for commercial activities. This time the commerce centered on railroad lines that adjoined the east and west coasts of a rapidly growing America. The renowned Buffalo Soldiers regiment trained at Fort Riley, as did Calvary Commander General George Armstrong Custer. The First and Second World Wars irrevocably changed the mission of Fort Riley, as the army post transformed into a Calvary school and expanded to account for larger soldier quarters. In 1955, Fort Riley changed its mission once again from one of providing training and education for soldiers to becoming the home base for a major infantry division.
