Why this spot
1910-1937 border garrison and CCC camp
Troops camped at Naco from 1910 during the Mexican Revolution, and Camp Naco was built in 1917 as part of the Mexican Border Project, housing Buffalo Soldier units until 1924 and a CCC camp from 1935 to 1937. It is the only survivor of the border forts of that era.View source →
