Buffalo Soldiers

Honoring the Legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers

Celebrate the courage, resilience, and distinguished service of the Buffalo Soldiers—the legendary African American cavalry and infantry regiments who served on the Western frontier and beyond from 1866 through the mid-20th century.

A Proud Military Heritage

Following the Civil War, Congress passed the Army Organization Act of 1866, establishing six all-Black regiments that would become known as the Buffalo Soldiers. These brave men served with distinction in the 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments and the 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments, earning their place in American military history through valor, dedication, and unwavering service.

Their Mission & Service

  • Western Frontier: Protected settlers, stagecoaches, wagon trains, and railroad crews
  • Indian Wars: Served in campaigns across the American West
  • Spanish-American War: Fought with distinction in Cuba, including the Battle of San Juan Hill
  • Philippine-American War: Deployed to the Pacific theater
  • World Wars I & II: Continued their legacy of service in global conflicts
  • Peacetime duties: Built infrastructure, protected national parks, and served their nation

The Name "Buffalo Soldiers"

Native American tribes gave these soldiers the name "Buffalo Soldiers" out of respect for their fierce fighting spirit and the texture of their hair, which resembled the buffalo's mane. The soldiers wore this name with pride, and the buffalo became a symbol of their regiments.
