Yes, that Jefferson Davis. I know you like history, so:

The county, town and fort were all named after Jefferson Davis, although the county had originally been Presidio County. Fort Davis was named prior to Davis’ term as President of the Confederate States. As U.S. Secretary of War - Davis signed the order establishing the facility and was thus honored.
