As what the city's name suggests, Fort Collins started off as an outpost for the United States Army around 1864. Before it became the outpost that it was, it was an encampment that was called Camp Collins. It was the time of the Indian wars that the said encampment was created as a means of protection for the mail route that was relocated all over the region. Those who were travelling would travel through the Overland Trail, and would feel safe camping there. Unfortunately, the camp was destroyed by a flood during 1864.
