Biographical History

Ordnance department established by Congress in 1812. Office responsible for design, procurement, storage, supply, and maintenance of munitions and combat vehicles.

From the description of Records of the Office of the Chief of Ordnance [microform], 1812-1912. (Ohio Historical Society). WorldCat record id: 40828498

The accounting statements of the U.S. Arsenal at Greenleaf's Point and Fort Belle Fontaine exemplify the Army's ordnance needs in the early years of the republic.

Now known as Fort Lesley J. McNair, the Arsenal at Greenleaf's Point was established in the 1790's at the mouth of the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. And Fort Belle Fontaine was built in 1805 on the Missouri River just north of St. Louis and served as the military headquarters of the region until 1826.
