Fort Dodge traces its beginnings to 1850 when E Company of the 6th Infantry was sent from Fort Snelling to erect and garrison a fort at the junction of the Des Moines River and Lizard Creek.

It was named after Henry Dodge, a governor of Wisconsin Territory (which had included Iowa until Iowa became a state in 1846). The fort was abandoned by the Army in 1853.

The next year William Willams, a civilian storekeeper in Fort Dodge, purchased the land and buildings of the old fort. The town of Fort Dodge was founded in 1869.
