Similar to the first World War, Florida's location and temperature served as an ideal location for military training; in fact, Florida would end up having 172 military installations. As a result of World War II growth, Camp Blanding became the fourth largest city in Florida, capable of housing over 55,000 soldiers. Many Floridians sacrificed their lives among other Americans to win the war; it's estimated that about 3,000 U.S. deaths were from Floridian troops.

Name Meaning

English: habitational name, in southern England perhaps an irregular development of Cleveley (Oxforshire), or from a lost place, perhaps in Hampshire, named from Old English clæfre ‘clover’ + lēah ‘wood, clearing’. In northern England probably from Claverley in Shropshire, named from the same elements, or possibly from Cleveley in Lancashire (named with Old English clif ‘bank, slope’ + lēah), with intrusive -r- under the influence of cleverly. The overall pattern suggests that the southern origin is the dominant one.
