Fort McDowell is 23 miles northeast of Phoenix, Arizona. Fort McDowell has a post office with ZIP code 85264.[2] HistoryThe location was named Camp McDowell, and later renamed Fort McDowell in 1867 when established by the California Volunteers on the Verde River in 1865. It was named for Major General Irvin McDowell. The fort was located within Indian country and built to be near the area's travel routes in an effort to protect them from the Apache who lived in the Gila River and Salt River valleys. The post office opened as McDowell in 1869 and changed to Fort McDowell in 1923.[1] Some Native Americans of the region chose to seek refuge in the surrounding mountains rather than conform to the constraints of reservation life. These displaced Indians often traveled in small groups to avoid detection Their presence however caused fear and unrest for nervous settlers, and thus a military outpost (Camp Verde) was deemed necessary to protect trade routes within the region. In addition to the Salt and Verde rivers, Fort McDowell was in close proximity to a number of trails important to the Apache of central Arizona, and the installation conducted numerous military exercises against the Tonto Apache and others. Originally named Camp Verde, the fort was thought to be able to withstand an onslaught from these so-called renegades' but in fact, the structures failed to survive the heavy summer monsoon rains, washing away not long after being built. The Stoneman Military Trail served as a supply trail and connected Ft. McDowell to Ft. Whipple in Prescott, Arizona, during the years 1870–1890. ClimateAccording to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Fort McDowell has a semi-arid climate, abbreviated "BSk" on climate maps.[3] {{Clear}}Ruins{{Gallery|title=Fort McDowell Ruins |width=180px |height=200px |align=center |lines=4 |File: Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation-Fort McDowell Officers Quarers Ruins-3.jpg |The remaining ruins of the Fort McDowell officers quarters located in Ba Hon Nah Road. |File: Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation-Fort McDowell Ruins-1.jpg|Fort McDowell ruins located in Fort Loop Road. |File: Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation-Fort McDowell Ruins-2.jpg|The ruins of one of the buildings which belonged to the original Fort McDowell. |File: Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation-Fort McDowell Church.jpg |Fort McDowell Church located in Fort Loop Road. |File: Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation-Abandoned house.jpg|Abandoned house in the land of the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation. |File: Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation-Yavapai Hut.jpg |An early hut which served as a home of a Yavapai family. |File: Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation-Yavapai resting structure.jpg |Yavapai resting area. |File: Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation-Yavapai resting structure reindeer head.jpg |Deer Head on top of the Yavapai resting area. |File: Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation-Ba Dah Mod Jo Cemetery-1.jpg |Entrance of the as "Ba Dah Mod Jo" Cemetery also known as the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Cemetery. |File: Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation--Ba Dah Mod Jo Cemetery-Carlos Montezuma grave-2.jpg |The grave of Carlos Montezuma or Wassaja in "Ba Dah Mod Jo" Cemetery.
