## History

[Library War Service](/source/Library_War_Service) camp library at Camp Greene

Named Camp Greene, after the Revolutionary War hero, [Nathanael Greene](/source/Nathanael_Greene), the camp was established at [Charlotte, North Carolina](/source/Charlotte%2C_North_Carolina), in 1917. At that time, the population of Charlotte was approaching its 1920 total of 46,000,[1] and so was roughly equivalent to the 40,000 soldiers who trained at Camp Greene.

People who were stationed at Camp Greene included musical conductor [Howard Barlow](/source/Howard_Barlow_(musician)).[2]
