After the Battle of Stones River, Union General William S. Rosecrans ordered construction of a supply depot next to the Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad. Construction of Fortress Rosecrans began on January 23, 1863, and was completed in June of that year. The 200-acre fortification was large enough to protect an army of 5,000 troops and could stockpile enough supplies to feed the army for up to ninety days.
