Camp Maxey

Camp Maxey

Camp Maxey was a World War Two infantry training camp named in honor of Samuel Bell Maxey.

Located just north of Paris, Texas, it opened on July 15, 1942 under the command of Colonel C.H. Palmer. The first division to be trained at the camp was the 102nd Infantry Division, which was activated on September 15, 1942.

The camp was placed on inactive status on October 1, 1945, and is now part of the Camp Maxey Texas Army National Guard training facility.
