Camp Moore, also known as Camp Styx, was begun here in 1913 as a National Guard training center. After President Woodrow Wilson mobilized the guard in 1916, the base sent men to a Mexican border disturbance. The 1st Infantry Regiment, later the 118th, was based at Styx and served in World War I, playing a significant role in breaking the Hindenburg line of defense, thought to be impregnable. The camp closed in the early 1920s.
