Camp Pike to Camp Robinson

In a memorandum to "All Organizational Commanders" dated April 26, 1938, the Adjutant General's Department advised "..that the name of Camp Pike, Arkansas, has been changed to Camp Joseph T. Robinson, Arkansas. This change was made by General Orders #8, War Department, 1937."

Joseph Taylor Robinson was a Democratic United States Senator, member of the United States House of Representatives, Governor of Arkansas and U.S. Vice-President candidate. He was majority leader of the Senate when he died July 14, 1937. It is presumed the name change was requested by the State of Arkansas but this has not been substantiated.
