An executive order-issued September 14, 1888-set aside a strip of
land adjacent to the boundary of the newly incorporated city of San
Pedro, California. Signed by President Grover Cleveland, the order
designated the area of "the old government reservation" to be used
as a military reservation. It is from this point in time that Fort
MacArthur traces its military career. As a part of the US Air
Force's Los Angeles Air Force Base, the post continues in its
purpose of public service to the citizens of the United States of
America. The Fort MacArthur Museum is charged with preserving its
military past. Towards that goal this history has been compiled to
preserve the history of this important post. Much of this work was
derived from materials prepared by Col. Gustafson for distribution
to the Army personnel and visitors of Fort MacArthur in the late
1970s.
