An army base was organized at Camp Croft during World War II. The base served as an Infantry Replacement Training Center and trained 60,000 soldiers per year from 1941-1944. Among the trainees was Henry Kissinger. Kissinger was naturalized at Camp Croft and would later serve as Secretary of State under President Nixon. In the later years of the war a prisoner-of-war camp was established at Camp Croft and almost 1,000 German prisoners were held at the camp. After the war, Camp Croft was not retained as a military installation. The former base was redeveloped partly as a residential neighborhood and partly as Croft State Park.
