World Events (8)

1942

Camp Kilmer was activated by the War Department in June 1942 following roughly one year of construction. The camp was named after Joyce Kilmer, a New Jersey poet from the 69th Infantry Regiment that had been killed during World War I. The post served as a place for soldiers to receive medical injections and supplies before loading onto ships headed to Europe. After the war, the camp remained active until the fall of 1949 to assist with processing troops that returned home from Europe.

1942 · The Japanese American internment

Caused by the tensions between the United States and the Empire of Japan, the internment of Japanese Americans caused many to be forced out of their homes and forcibly relocated into concentration camps in the western states. More than 110,000 Japanese Americans were forced into these camps in fear that some of them were spies for Japan.

1958 · Construction of Port Newark–Elizabeth Marine Terminal

In 1958, the Port Authority commissioned an expansion of Port Newark after successful experiments showed that standardized cargo containers could be stacked on ships. The Port Newark–Elizabeth Marine Terminal was opened on August 15, 1962 as the world's first container port, and quickly became known as America's Container Capital.
