Short History of Fort PeckThe name Fort Peck is associated with Col. Campbell K. Peck, the partner of Elias H. Durfee in the Leavenworth, Kansas, trading firm of Durfee and Peck. Fort Peck got its start in 1867, when Abe Farwell constructed the Fort Peck trading post along the Missouri River. Then, in 1933 the US Government commissioned the Fort Peck Dam to be built in an effort to create jobs in the midst of the Great Depression.
