Population: At its height, Fort Atkinson housed nearly 1/4 of the standing US Army (approximately 1,200 soldiers); roughly that many civilians lived just beyond the wall of the garrison.

Presidents during time of fort: James Monroe, John Quincy Adams

The Missouri river originally flowed just below the east bluff of the fort. Today, its channel lies some three miles to the east.

The fort's first commanding officer was its namesake, Colonel Henry Atkinson. The nerve center of the garrison was the Orderly Room.
