World War I brought big business to towns that housed soldiers in military camps. On June 2, 1917 was Camp Jackson established. After 11 days of construction, the first trainees arrived.

There were other camps in South Carolina including Camp Sevier in Greenville, Camp Wadsworth in Spartanburg, Paris Island in Beaufort and the Charleston Navy Shipyard.
