What is now the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds was once one of many camps, in which US residents of Japanese ancestry, predominately American citizens, were interned after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
The center was occupied from May 10 to Oct. 17th, 1942. It held over 4,000 evacuees (Maximum population was 4,721). nothing remains of the original structure, but a California Historical Marker still reminds of the injustice.
