New Fort Pierre

Last updated November 03, 2025

Fort Pierre (1859 - 1863) was a fort located in Dakota Territory, later renamed New Fort Pierre. The site was located 3+1⁄2 miles north of the site of the original Fort Pierre Chouteau near Pierre, South Dakota. The fort was established by the American Fur Company to replace Fort Galpin, 1 mile (1.6 km) away, which was abandoned soon afterwards. New Fort Pierre was smaller than Fort Pierre Chouteau. A garrison was deployed here in 1862-63 during the American Civil War.^[1] 44°24′55.84″N100°23′9.78″W / 44.4155111°N 100.3860500°W / 44.4155111; -100.3860500
