The Presidio de San Bernardino, Fort San Bernardino, or Camp San Berdardino was origionallythe site of a Spanish fortress built in 1776 and abandoned in 1780. It was located a few miles east of the present day Douglas, Arizona. In 1883, a temporary post was established by the United States Army at or near the presidio site and was known as Camp San Bernardino. Camp Douglas was built next to Douglas in 1910 and should not be confused with the earlier posts or Camp San Bernardino Ranch, which was built near Bernardino, Arizona in 1911.
