The fort was built by settlers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to protect themselves from Navajo Native Americans in the midst of the Black Hawk War of 1865–1872.[2] Initial construction began on December 4, 1866, and was done by six men.[2] It was expanded with a corral built by nineteen men, including Charles L. Walker, in 1869.[2] The fort was named in honor of Captain John David Lafayette Pearce.[2][3] The ruins have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 20, 1975.[1]Шаблон:Clear left
