After the United States entered the Second World War in December 1941, the federal government authorized the internment of Japanese Americans and Japanese immigrants on the West Coast, including Arizona. The Civilian Exclusion Order Number 38 required that internees from southern Arizona (Maricopa, Pima and Yuma Counties) be transported and processed at the assembly center in Mayer. The majority were from Glendale and Mesa along the Salt River Valley. The Mayer Assembly Center, the smallest of the centers, was occupied for only 27 days (May 7 to June 2, 1942).
