Soon after, the government sent the <a href="/wiki/Pike_Expedition" title="Pike Expedition">Pike Expedition</a> (1806) to explore the areas along the <a href="/wiki/Arkansas_River" title="Arkansas River">Arkansas River</a>. The U.S. founded Fort Smith in 1817 as a military post. It was named after General <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Adams_Smith" title="Thomas Adams Smith">Thomas Adams Smith</a> (1781–1844), who commanded the <a href="/wiki/Regiment_of_Riflemen" title="Regiment of Riflemen">United States Army Rifle Regiment</a> in 1817, headquartered near St. Louis. General Smith had ordered Army topographical engineer Stephen H. Long (1784–1864) to find a suitable site on the <a href="/wiki/Arkansas_River" title="Arkansas River">Arkansas River</a> for a fort. General Smith never visited the town or the forts that bore his name. </p><p>A stockade was built and occupied from 1817 until 1822 by a small troop of regulars commanded by Major <a href="/wiki/William_Bradford_(major)" class="mw-redirect" title="William Bradford (major)">William Bradford</a>. A small settlement began forming around the fort, but the Army abandoned the first Fort Smith in 1824 and moved 80 miles further west to <a href="/wiki/Fort_Gibson" title="Fort Gibson">Fort Gibson</a>. John Rogers, an Army sutler and land speculator, bought up former government-owned lands at this site and promoted growth of the new civilian town of Fort Smith. </p><p>Due to the strategic location of this site, the federal government re-established a military presence at Fort Smith during the <a href="/wiki/Indian_removal" title="Indian removal">Indian removal</a> era of the 1830s, primarily of tribes from the American Southeast to west of the Mississippi River in <a href="/wiki/Indian_Territory" title="Indian Territory">Indian Territory</a>, which is present-day Oklahoma. </p><p>In 1838, the Army moved back into the old military post near Belle Point, and expanded the base. They used troops to forcibly relocate the <a href="/wiki/Choctaw" title="Choctaw">Choctaw</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cherokee" title="Cherokee">Cherokee</a>, from their ancestral homelands in the Southeast; they were the last of the tribes to leave. Remnants of the <a href="/wiki/Five_Civilized_Tribes" title="Five Civilized Tribes">Five Civilized Tribes</a> remained in the southeast, and some of their descendants have reorganized and been federally recognized. The Cherokee called the forced migration the <a href="/wiki/Trail_of_Tears" title="Trail of Tears">Trail of Tears</a>, as some of their people and the people who were enslaved died from starvation, hypothermia, exhaustion and many illnesses along the way. The army enforced the removal of these tribes to the reserved Indian Territory, where the federal government set aside land that was less fertile while imposing detentes between distinct nations. Many displaced people stopped walking and settled in Fort Smith and adjoining <a href="/wiki/Van_Buren,_Arkansas" title="Van Buren, Arkansas">Van Buren</a> on the other side of the river. </p><p>The U.S. Army also used Fort Smith as a base during the <a href="/wiki/Mexican%E2%80%93American_War" title="Mexican–American War">Mexican–American War</a> (1846-1848). As a result, the U.S. acquired large territories in the Southwest, and later annexed the Republic of Texas, which had been independent from 1836-1846. </p><p>Sebastian County was formed in 1851, separated from Crawford County north of the Arkansas River. In 1858, Fort Smith was designated as a Division Center of the <a href="/wiki/Butterfield_Overland_Mail" title="Butterfield Overland Mail">Butterfield Overland Mail</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Butterfield_Overland_Mail_in_Indian_Territory" title="Butterfield Overland Mail in Indian Territory">7th Division route across Indian Territory</a> from Fort Smith to <a href="/wiki/Texas" title="Texas">Texas</a> and as a junction with the mail route from <a href="/wiki/Memphis,_Tennessee" title="Memphis, Tennessee">Memphis, Tennessee</a>, an important port on the east side of the Mississippi River. </p><p>For roughly a year of the <a href="/wiki/American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">American Civil War</a>, the fort was occupied by the <a href="/wiki/Confederate_States_Army" title="Confederate States Army">Confederate States Army</a>.

A small <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Fort_Smith" title="Battle of Fort Smith">fight occurred there</a> on July 31, 1864, but the <a href="/wiki/Union_Army" class="mw-redirect" title="Union Army">Union Army</a> maintained command in the area until the war ended in 1865.

The slaves were freed under the <a href="/wiki/Emancipation_Proclamation" title="Emancipation Proclamation">Emancipation Proclamation</a> of January 1863 by President <a href="/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln" title="Abraham Lincoln">Abraham Lincoln</a>. Federal troops abandoned the post of Fort Smith for the last time in 1871. The town continued to thrive despite the absence of federal troops. </p><p>Two of Fort Smith's most notable historic figures were Judge <a href="/wiki/Isaac_C._Parker" title="Isaac C. Parker">Isaac C. Parker</a> and William Henry Harrison Clayton, also known as <a href="/wiki/W._H._H._Clayton" title="W. H. H. Clayton">W. H. H. Clayton</a>.

Grant">Ulysses S. Grant</a>. Fort Smith was a bustling community full of brothels, saloons, and outlaws, just across the river from Indian Territory. William Clayton realized a strong judge would be necessary to bring law and order to the region. He knew that Parker was a strong judge. But Parker had been appointed Chief Justice of <a href="/wiki/Utah_Territory" title="Utah Territory">Utah Territory</a> and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. With the help of President Grant and U.S. Senator <a href="/wiki/Powell_Clayton" title="Powell Clayton">Powell Clayton</a>, former governor of Arkansas, William Clayton was able to gain the appointment of Parker in the Fort Smith district. At that time, the Fort Smith district not only held the responsibility for law in Western Arkansas, but also the Indian Territory. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Judge_Isaac_Parker.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4f/Judge_Isaac_Parker.jpg" decoding="async" width="182" height="229" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="182" data-file-height="229" /></a><figcaption>Judge <a href="/wiki/Isaac_C._Parker" title="Isaac C.

Six of these men were later hanged on the same day. Over the course of his career in Fort Smith, Parker sentenced 160 people to death. Of those, 79 were executed on the gallows.

The <a href="/wiki/University_of_Arkansas_%E2%80%93_Fort_Smith" class="mw-redirect" title="University of Arkansas – Fort Smith">University of Arkansas at Fort Smith</a> was founded in 1928 as an extension of the Fort Smith Public School system, with the superintendent, James William Ramsey, acting as the college president and the high school principal as dean. Known originally as <b>Fort Smith <a href="/wiki/Community_college" title="Community college">Junior College</a></b>, the institution operated within the Fort Smith public school system until 1950, when the school was incorporated as a private, nonprofit institution with its own governing board. In September 1952, the college moved from borrowed facilities in the high school to its current site, initially occupying 15 acres (6.07 <a href="/wiki/Hectare" title="Hectare">ha</a>). </p><p>In 1966, the institution's name was changed from Fort Smith Junior College to <b>Westark Junior College</b> and in 1972, it was renamed <b>Westark Community College</b>, indicating the larger area to be served and reflecting the more comprehensive mission. </p><p>The name of the college was changed yet again in February 1998 to <b>Westark College</b>, more accurately portraying the role and scope of the institution. </p><p>On December 15, 2000, the Board of Trustees of Westark College entered into an agreement with the Board of Trustees of the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Arkansas" title="University of Arkansas">University of Arkansas</a> to merge with the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Arkansas_System" title="University of Arkansas System">University of Arkansas System</a> as a four-year institution. In 2001, the Sebastian County electorate voted to support the merger. A formal request to change affiliation status to that of a bachelor's degree-granting institution under the name of the <b>University of Arkansas at Fort Smith</b> was submitted to the Higher Learning Commission in August 2001 and approved by the Institutional Actions Council on November 19, 2001. </p><p>The merger, which became official on January 1, 2002, endorsed the concept of UA-Fort Smith as a unique university, one that offers applied and traditional baccalaureate degree programs, one- and two-year associate and technical programs, and noncredit business and industry training programs.
