Fort Fletcher was the predecessor of Ft. Hays. It was located about 15 miles east of the permanent Ft. Hays location on Big Creek (a northern branch of the Smoky Hill river). George Custer was stationed there prior to the move to the new fort (because of the persistent flooding of the Fort Fletcher location).
