Abstract:
"amid the urgency of World War II, an Army training camp sprang up from fields north of Raleigh. Five years later, the camp was no longer needed, but the existing infrastructure attracted new residents. Today, evidence of that brief but impressive history remains part of Butner's very foundation." In 1942, Camp Butner was carved out of a 40,000acre span of farmland, only yo operate until 1947. The town of Butner was operated by the stae of North Carolina until 2007, when it was finally incorporated as a town in its own right.
