The landscape of Killeen was forever changed in 1942, when the U.S. War Department announced the opening of Camp Hood. An initial 108,000 acres of agricultural land was dedicated to training and testing the newly developed tank destroyers for combat in World War II. Fort Hood became a permanent military installation in 1950, ensuring that long after the war's end, Killeen would continue to be influenced by the military.
