TULE LAKE
BY: KAILEY WITT PERIOD: 6/7
Tule Lake was opened on May 27, 1942 and was closed on March 20, 1946, Tule Lake was also closed as a "Segregation Center"
Tule Lake War Relocation Center was renamed the Tule Lake Segregation Center in the year of 1943
The largest and most historically significant of all of the internment camps was the Tule Lake Segregation Center.
WHY CALLED A SEGREGATION CENTER?
Answer-
"...Tule Lake served as a segregation center, housing those Japanese Americans who answered “no” to the government’s controversial questions of loyalty..."
Tule Lake housed over 18,000 internees, many of whom were considered unloyal
Tule Lake also housed over 1,200 soldiers
"...As a relocation center, Tule Lake had 6 guard towers, but by the end of its transformation into a segregation center, it had 28 towers supported by 8 tanks and a number of machine guns..."
The federal government set out to drain Tule Lake to create farmland
"...Set out over 7,400, the Tule Lake complex included the typical infrastructure of a normal American town with a post office, high school, hospital, cemetery, several factory and ware house buildings, 2 sewage treatment plants, and over 3,500 acres of irrigated farmland made available by the efforts of the CCC/CCC= Civilian Conservation Crops..."
Tule Lake Segregation Center was the largest (in terms of population) and controversial of the camps, and did not close until after the war, in March 1946
Tule Lake was then registered as a California Historical Landmark in 2006
