Background: Fort Logan National Cemetery, located near Denver, Colorado, originated from a military post established in 1887 after local citizens petitioned for an Army presence. The post was named Fort Logan in August 1889 to honor General John A. Logan, a Civil War hero and founder of Memorial Day. A post cemetery was set aside that same year, with the first burial recorded on June 28, 1889. Although Fort Logan was reduced to a recruiting depot by 1909 and eventually closed in 1946, Congress authorized the creation of a national cemetery on the site in 1950. Initially limited to 160 acres, the cemetery has since expanded to 214 acres.
