Fort McIntosh

Established by the Army in 1848, immediately after the Mexican War, the fort was in continuous use until May 1946. It was originally among a series of border forts guarding against attacks and was the base for the border patrol. The old guardhouse, chapel, warehouse, living quarters, infirmary, commander's house and commissary are now Laredo Community College department facilities and housing for faculty and students. The original earthen fort is now an educational institution and home to the Paso del Indio Trail. West End of Washington Street on the banks of the Rio Grande.
