A BRIEF HISTORY OF FORT LEWIS

Camp Lewis was established in 1917 on land that was donated to the federal government by the people of Pierce County. They stipulated that the land be used to develop a permanent army post in this location. The first residents moved into Fort Lewis by September that year. This establishment has served as the home base to 14 Army divisions until now. Today, its primary objective is to offer training and support for the U.S. defense forces. Troops that were deployed during the Korean war received their training here.
