Fort Hayes was a military post in Columbus, Ohio, United States. Created by an act of the United States Congress on July 11, 1862, the site was also known as the Columbus Arsenal until 1922, when the site was renamed after former Ohio Governor and later 19th U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes.[2] Beginning in 2007, the property was primarily used for the Columbus School District's Fort Hayes Metropolitan Education Center and bus depot. The 391st Military Police Battalion and the 375th Criminal Investigations Division of the U.S. Army Reserve were among the last to use the facility, but the last military presence on the property was in 2009. The military built a new army reserve center in Whitehall, which ended the long-established military presence at Fort Hayes.[3]
