-'''Fort Casey (1890-)''' - In 1858, the U.S. government purchased ten acres of land costing $400 for the construction of Admiralty Head Lighthouse. In 1890, the army took over the premises. It named its garrison "Fort Casey" in honor of Brigadier General [[Thomas Lincoln Casey]], the last U.S. Army chief of engineers. At that time, Fort Casey, in union with [[:Category:Fort Worden|Fort Worden]] and [[:Category:Fort Flagler|Fort Flagler]], was said to comprise a "triangle of fire" guarding the entrance to Puget Sound.
