Excluded from their West Coast homes by military authorities, more than 9000 Japanese Americans occupied Hunt Relocation Camp 4 miles north of here between 1942 and 1945. Until they could resettle in other places, they lived in wartime tarpaper barracks in a dusty desert, where they helped meet a local farm labor crisis by planting and harvesting crops. Finally, a 1945 Supreme Court decision held that United States citizens no longer could be confined that way, and the camp became Idaho’s largest ghost town.
