History edit

In 1892, the depot commissary from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, moved to Omaha.[2] The U.S. Army's Department of the Platte used the depot as a storage and distribution source for military outposts for 20 years, including its peak activity during World War I. During that period, the depot supplied camps and National Guard units throughout the Midwest.

During the Great Depression, the depot was activated as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal program as a supply base for Civilian Conservation Corps camps across the United States. The depot previously operated as United States Army Reserve facility.[3] On November 19, 2013, the property was put up for auction by the General Services Administration.[4]
