Fort Fred Steele was commissioned on June 30, 1868 and abandoned on August 7, 1886. When the Fort was abandoned the grounds and buildings were turned over to the locals in hopes the Fort remained a town.  In 1922 the Lincoln Highway was realigned to pass through Fort Steele. One of the businesses at Fort Steele was the Aero Filling Station.
