FORT SAM HOUSTON History of

General Sam Houston

he namesake of the post, Sam Houston, was born in Virginia on March 2, 1793. At age 15, he le home in Tennessee and was adopted by the Cherokee tribe. Houston was called “ e Raven” by the Cherokees. He returned to Maryville, Tennessee, and became a schoolmaster. Enlisting in the Army during the War of 1812, Houston rose to the rank of First Lieutenant. Wounded three times at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in Alabama serving under General Andrew Jackson, he resigned from the Army in 1818 and became an Indian Agent. Houston studied law and was elected prosecuting attorney and was then appointed a major general of the Tennessee Militia. At age 30, he became a Congressman from Tennessee and four years later, Governor. Houston married in 1829, but shortly a erward his wife le him. He resigned from the o ce and rejoined the Cherokees.

ere, he decided his destiny awaited him in Texas. Houston arrived in Texas in 1832, became involved in the struggle for independence, and on November 12, 1835, he was elected Major General of the Texas Army. He was delegate to the Convention if 1836 and signed the Declaration of

Independence on March 2. On March 11, he was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Texas Army at Gonzales. Withdrawing to the east, Houston decisively defeated the Mexican Army under General Santa Ana at San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. Sam Houston was elected President of the Republic of Texas under the Constitution of 1836 and took office in October 1836. After the annexation of Texas by the United States, Houston was elected to the U.S. Senate and served from 1846 until 1859. Elected as the seventh Governor of Texas in 1859, he opposed secession from the union. When Texas seceded from the Union, Houston refused to take the oath of allegiance to the Confederacy and was deposed on March 16, 1861. He retired to his farm in Huntsville, where he died on July 26, 1863

Fort Sam Houston

The U.S. Army has maintained a presence in the Alamo city since 1845. During that time, the installation has performed five distinct and important roles: headquarters, logistical base, mobilization and training site, garrison and provider of medical support.

At rst, the Army leased facilities in the City of San Antonio, including its most famous landmark, the Alamo. In fact, the Army repaired the Alamo structure and added a roof so it could be used as a headquarters. In 1876, the Army began to move its facilities to the present site of Fort Sam Houston upon completion of the Quadrangle. e post has since increased in size from the original 92 acres donated to the Army by the city, to approximately 3,000 acres today.

As it expanded, additional facilities were built to meet the Army’s needs. e headquarters and garrison have always constituted one of the Army’s most important commands. Prior to the Civil War, the headquarters controlled 25 percent of the Army’s forces. From 1910 until World War II, Fort Sam Houston was the largest Army post in the continental United States. Many of America’s most distinguished soldiers have served here, including no less than 13 Army Chiefs of Sta and two United States presidents. e post’s prominence led to signi cant tactical and organizational innovations.

Military aviation was born here in the 1910s and revitalized during the 1940s and 1950s. Large scale troop maneuvers have been conducted, including the rst e ective use of the Command Post Exercise in 1911. Field exercises in the 1930s developed the Triangular Division. is streamlined, mobile organization was the foundation of the Army combat power in World War II. e delivery of troops to the battle eld by air was also tested here from 1939-1941. e signi cant contributions of Fort Sam Houston to the United States were recognized in 1975 when the post was designated as a National Historic Landmark. As one of the Army’s oldest installations, Fort Sam Houston boasts the largest collection of historic structures - more than 900 buildings.

Aeromedical evacuation of casualties was rst developed here as early as 1917. At the end of the Second World War, the Army decided to make Fort Sam Houston the principal medical training facility. In conjunction with this decision came the determination to develop Brooke General Hospital into one of the Army’s premier medical centers.

Today, Fort Sam Houston is the largest and most important military medical training facility in the world. roughout its existence, a close and harmonious relationship has prevailed between Fort Sam Houston and the City of San Antonio. e two have grown and matured together. e city has o en been called the “mother-in-law of the Army” because so many soldiers including Dwight D. Eisenhower met their future spouses here.

Even more consequential than the numbers, is the historical integrity of the post’s di erent sections which represent the different eras of construction and re ect Army concepts in planning and design. Careful preservations of these areas allows the post to live with its history, surrounded by existence of the traditions of excellence established when the rst soldiers arrived here. But Fort Sam Houston does not dwell in the past. It is a dynamic and growing installation, taking on new missions such as the home of the Army Medical Command Headquarters. In addition to command headquarters, Ft. Sam is also home to U.S. Army North, U.S. Army South, Fi h Recruiting Brigade, 12th ROTC Brigade, U.S. Navy Regional Recruiting, e San Antonio Military Entrance and Processing Station and the U.S. Naval School of Health Sciences, and Bethesda Detachment.

Calvary & Light Artillery Post

Construction of this neighborhood between 1905 and 1912 made Fort Sam Houston the largest Army post, a distinction it held until World War II. e barracks and hospital have been converted to o ce space, the Guard House became the Learning Center, and the bakery became the Military Police Station.

Sta Post

Designed by Alfred Giles, the homes on the Sta Post were built for the o cers of the headquarters in the Quadrangle. e largest quarters, set aside for the Commanding General, were designated the Pershing house in honor of General John J. Pershing who lived there in 1917. e Post Hospital, built in 1886, has become the Sam Houston House, temporary lodging for VIPs.

e Quadrangle

Oldest structure on the post, this former Quartermaster Supply Depot served as headquarters for the ird and Fourth Armies. Today, the Fi h U.S. Army/ ARNORTH occupies these historic grounds.

e Quadrangle has become the focal point of the Fort Sam Houston National Historic Landmark District. e 624-foot, square limestone structure encloses an eight-acre courtyard. Along the west, south and east sides were storerooms for supplies and equipment. Originally, only the center third of the south side had a second story. ere, o ces for the supply o cers were located. When the Department Headquarters was to move the Quadrangle in 1881, the second story was extended to the remainder of the south side. e 90-foot tower in the center of the Quadrangle originally held a water tank. is was replaced by a clock in 1882.

e current faces on the clock were installed in 1907. e expansion of the headquarters’ sta eventually required the movement of all supply functions out of the Quadrangle in 1922. Since then, headquarters has been the sole occupant. Generals Frederick Funston, John J. Pershing and Dwight D. Eisenhower are a few of the distinguished soldiers whose o ces were here.

Visitors may take a walking tour around the Quadrangle. Points of interest are marked with explanatory signs. Additional information is available at the kiosk near the Sally Port (entrance). Additionally, military vehicles and artillery are on display west of the Quadrangle.

As an active military headquarters, the Quadrangle is operational around the clock everyday. A Military Police checkpoint is located at the entrance. e public is welcome to visit the Quadrangle from 8 a.m.-6 p.m. weekdays and from noon-6 p.m. on weekends. e Quadrangle is closed to visitors on Christmas, anksgiving and New Year’s Day.
