Tuke Lake, California: Opened May 27, 1942. Closed March 20, 1946. Peak population 18,789. Origin of prisoners: American citizens of Japanese descent living in Sacramento area, Southwestern Oregon, and Western Washington. Later, segregated internees were brought from all west coast states and Hawaii. One of the most turbulent camps -- prisoners held frequent protest demonstrations and strikes.
