Camp Henely was a military installation in the Lordsburg area, established during the Apache raids of the late 1880's. Generally, the origin of the Camp's name, Henely, is "unknown". It is likely, however, that the name of Camp Henely was meant to memorialize Lieutenant Austin Henely of the U. S. 6th Cavalry Regiment who lost his life while taking part in military action in 1886 and perhaps that of a friend who also died trying to save him.
