Tuna Canyon Detention Station

Tuna Canyon Detention Station was a temporary detention facility used for holding hundreds of Japanese Americans who were considered enemy aliens by the U.S. government and to be risks to the nation's security.

The camp was converted into the Tuna Canyon Detention Station just after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

Administered by the Department of Justice, it opened on December 16, 1941, when the first group of detainees arrived from various Southern California towns and cities.

The Tuna Canyon Detention Station and camp sites are located in the southeastern area of the golf course, where the driving range and overflow parking were built.
