Fort Wingate was a military installation near Gallup, New Mexico, United States.
From 1870 onward the garrison near Gallup was concerned with Apaches to the south, and through 1890 hundreds of Navajo Scouts were enlisted at the fort.
Fort Wingate supplied 100 tons of Composition B high explosives to the Manhattan Project for use in the first Trinity test and became an ammunition depot "Fort Wingate Depot Activity" from World War II until it was closed by the 1993 Base Realignment and Closure Commission.
Environmental cleanup of UXO, perchlorate, and lead as well as land transfer continue to the present day.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Fort Wingate census-designated place has an area of 2.02 square miles (5.2 km2), all land.
