Synopsis

At Fort Sam Houston, you are literally surrounded by history. This installation is a National Historic Landmark with the largest collection of historic structures in the Department of Defense. Today’s soldiers, Department of the Army Civilians, military family members and visitors walk the very ground where several generations of America’s most distinguished soldiers have served this nation.Many features of the built environment at Fort Sam Houston bear the names of distinguished soldiers. Other features were named to reflect their function or use. Some of the names are quite familiar, like Eisenhower or Pershing. Other names are unfamiliar to all but the dedicated military historian. Familiar or not, the names of the soldiers memorialized here exemplify the Army Values—Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage.The purpose of this guide is to identify those soldiers, and in some cases sailors, airmen and marines, whose names are memorialized at Fort Sam Houston and to illustrate the deeds or achievements which made them worthy of memorialization. An additional purpose is to identify the origin of the other street and place names which are also elements of the heritage of the installation. This guide is an addition to the Historic Neighborhood Awareness Program and includes information on all of the seven historic neighborhoods and the other neighborhoods as well.
