More Information
Details: Fort Atkinson was established as the first U.S. military post west of the Missouri River by the Yellowstone Expedition of 1819, but its story actually begins 15 years earlier with the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The explorers first set up camp in the area on July 30, 1804, and held council with the Oto and Missouri Indians on August 3, 1804. That powwow gave the locale its name of Council Bluff, and Clark later recommended the site for the location of a fort. There, Fort Atkinson was built ... on the bluffs overlooking the Missouri.
