Camp Stephen D. Little

Established in Nogales, Arizona, in November 1910, this military camp was for a generation an integral part of the community’s economic and social life. On December 14, 1915, the post was renamed for Private Little, who was killed in action during the border troubles that climaxed with the taking of Nogales, Sonora, by revolutionists. After reaching a peak strength of 12,000 in 1916, its forces were gradually reduced after World War I to less than 1,000 men, and the post was abandoned on May 5, 1933.
