Brief Summary of Camp Reynolds

    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 infrastructure 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.
