Camp White, now known as White City, was built during WWII for training soldiers.

In the transformation of rural southern Oregon during WWII an area just outside of Medford, Oregon was chosen for training facilities. Combined with a work force and abundant building material, the Army Corp of engineers and local contractors transformed the property into a city of 35,000 called Camp White. The economy boomed and southern Oregon was changed overnight.
