Fort Sherman (1878–1900) was a military post in the northwest United States, located in northern Idaho at Coeur d'Alene.

[1] General William T. Sherman (1820–91) of the U.S. Army had recommended the site after an inspection tour in 1877.

On the north shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene and the east bank of the outflowing Spokane River, it began as a camp the next year, became Fort Coeur d'Alene in 1879, and the adjacent city grew.

[2][3] Sherman later visited the fort;[4] it was named for him in 1887,[5] three years after his retirement.

[5][8][9] A succeeding Fort Sherman was located in the Panama Canal Zone, operated by the U.S. Army from 1911 to 1999.
