The Third Military District existed in the American South during the Reconstruction era that followed the American Civil War. It comprised Georgia, Florida and Alabama and was headquartered in Atlanta. Originally commanded by General John Pope, after his removal by President Andrew Johnson on December 28, 1867, General George Gordon Meade took his place. He served at the current location of Fort McPherson until August 1868 after Alabama and Florida were re-admitted into the United States.
