Fort Logan was a military installation located eight miles southwest of Denver, Colorado. It was established in October 1887, when the first soldiers camped on the land, and lasted until 1946, when it was closed following the end of World War II.[2] After the fort closed the site was used as a mental health center and part of the land was set aside for the Fort Logan National Cemetery.[1]

Initially named Fort Sheridan, in 1889 the fort was named after Union General John A. Logan, commander of US Volunteer forces during the American Civil War.[3][4]
