Fort Graham was a pioneer fort established in 1849 at the site of Jose Maria Village, an Anadaca camp on the western edge of present day Hill County, Texas. It remained in service until 1853, when settlements had moved further west. It was named after Col. William M. Graham, who died at the battle of Molina del Rey. In 1936, the Texas Centennial Commission granted Hill County $6700 to purchase the land upon which the Fort stood and reconstruct one of the buildings. In 1953, the US Army Corps of Engineers took the fort site as part of the Lake Whitney project.

  • Fort Graham was a pioneer fort established in 1849 at the site of Jose Maria Village, an Anadaca camp on the western edge of present day Hill County, Texas. It remained in service until 1853, when settlements had moved further west. It was named after Col. William M. Graham, who died at the battle of Molina del Rey. In 1936, the Texas Centennial Commission granted Hill County $6700 to purchase the land upon which the Fort stood and reconstruct one of the buildings. In 1953, the US Army Corps of Engineers took the fort site as part of the Lake Whitney project. The Corps never moved the old fort reconstruction out of the lakebed; yet saw no historical value to the building. According to a paper written by Dr. S. Alan Skinner's in his 1974 report entitled "An Evaluation of the Archaeological Resources at Lake Whitney, Texas"[citation needed]
