In 1863 the Fort was remanned by Brigadier General James G. Blunt. In 1868 the National Cemetery was established in a {{convert|7|acre|sing=on}} plot, and all of the nearby cemeteries had their interments transferred to it. This included the remains of many civilians. Fort Gibson National Cemetery was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 20, 1999.{{Citation Needed|date=January 2011}} Noteworthy monuments
