1917 · Camp Merritt is Activated
Camp Merritt was a military base activated for use in World War II. It was located in Bergen County, New Jersey; the location was originally called Camp Tenafly. Construction started on August 20, 1917 and was officially authorized on December 20 of that same year. The location was considered ideal due to how easily soldiers could be transported; they could march just one hour to Alpine Landing and board a ferryboat.
1937 · The Neutrality Act
The Neutrality Acts were passed in response to the growing conflicts in Europe and Asia during the time leading up to World War II. The primary purpose was so the US wouldn't engage in any more foreign conflicts. Most of the Acts were repealed in 1941 when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
Name Meaning
From an Old English name derived from ælf ‘elf, supernatural being’ + ræd ‘counsel’. It was a relatively common name before the Norman Conquest of Britain, being borne most notably by Alfred the Great ( 849–899 ), King of Wessex. After the Conquest it was adopted by the Normans in a variety of more or less radically altered forms ( see Avery ). In some regions the forms Alvery and Avery never fell entirely out of favour and became locally popular in the 16th century. It provides a rare example ( Edward is another) of a distinctively Old English name that has spread widely on the Continent. It was strongly revived in the 19th century, along with other names of pre-Conquest historical figures, faded in the mid-20th century, but has since recovered some popularity.
