Fort Thomas (Western Apache: Gowąh Golgai Gohoshé[3]) is a census-designated place in Graham County, Arizona, United States.

The camp was abandoned after a short time due to failed buildings and malaria from a nearby spring.

In 1876, the current site of the community was chosen as a "new post on the Gila," selected to replace Camp Goodwin during the Apache Wars.

After the capture of Geronimo in 1886, the Army gradually removed the troops stationed there until the fort was handed over to the Department of the Interior in 1891.

Although frosts are frequent during the winter, occurring on an average of 60.2 nights during December, January and February, snow is exceptionally rare with a median of zero and a mean of 0.2 inches (0.005 m).
