Historically, Fort Snelling protected the commercial use of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers during the early development and west-ward expansion of the United States. From 1819, until Fort Snelling was completed in 1825, the US Army protected the two major rivers. For more than 30 years, the activities related to Fort Snelling helped build and improve civilization in the area. In 1960, Fort Snelling was designated Minnesota's first National Historic Landmark.
