Summary

[edit]
Description

Approximately 1 mile southwest of Granada, Colorado

State Register 3/9/1994, National Register 5/18/1994, National Historic Landmark, 1/16/2009, 5PW.48
"The site is nationally significant as one of ten camps which housed Japanese Americans from 1942 to 1945 following their forced removal from the West Coast by military authorities. More than ten thousand persons passed through the camp which at its peak contained 7,318 Japanese Americans, nearly all of whom were former California residents and two-thirds of whom were United States citizens. Under a presidential executive order, the forced "evacuation" of Japanese Americans was justified on the basis of "military necessity" in the months following Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor and the professed inability of the military to gauge the loyalty of individual Japanese Americans"--Description from the History Colorado website.
