Originally called Camp San Saba because it overlooks the headwaters of the San Saba River Valley, Fort McKavett State Historic Site was established by five companies of the Eighth Infantry in March 1852 to protect frontier settlers and travelers on upper El Paso Road.  The camp was later renamed for Capt. Henry McKavett, killed at the battle of Monterey on Sept. 21, 1846.  The Fort was abandoned in march 1859 and reoccupied in April 1868.  By 1880, the fort was no longer needed and it was again abandoned on June 30, 1883.  Gen. William T. Sherman once called Fort McKavett "The prettiest post in Texas".
