Humans have lived in the Davis Mountains for at least 10,000 years. Originally known as the Limpia Mountains, the mountains and canyons served as a sanctuary through the late 1800s as the lower end of Limpia Creek provided year-round water. In the 1850s, the US Secretary of War, Jefferson Davis, ordered the construction of a frontier defense fort in the area so the fort and mountains would bear his name.Did you know that the Davis Mountains are a sky island?
