Camp Reynolds - World War II Army Camp

   The World War II Army camp, Camp Reynolds, which was formerly known as the
Shenango Personnel Replacement Depot was constructed in 1942 and was closed in
1945. It was located in Transfer, Pymatuning Township in Mercer County Pa. between
 the cities of Hermitage and Greenville. The camp was operated by the ASF 3rd Service
Command.
   The purpose of the camp was to be a personnel replacement depot for the ETO
(the European Theater of Operations) in World War II. During it's short existence over
one million men passed through the camp.
   After it's closing the camp was dismantled and the barracks sold to various colleges
and local individuals, some as far away as Philadelphia and Jamestown New York. 
Through the efforts of local Greenville businessmen the camp was transformed into a
residential and commercial development which utilized the camp's infra structure and 
many of the buildings.
   This development is called Reynolds, named after Camp Reynolds which was named
after PA Civil War hero General John Reynolds who was killed the first day of the battle
of Gettysburg.
