Sampson Naval Training Station / Sampson Air Force Base
Prior to [[World War II]] the area within Sampson's boundaries was predominantly farmland but the outbreak of war brought a large need for facilities to train military personnel for the war effort. On May 14, 1942 President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] approved construction of a Naval Training Station. The base was named in honor of a local native, Rear Admiral [[William T. Sampson]], from Palmyra, NY, a hero of the Battle of Santiago during the Spanish-American War.

Farragut Naval Training Station [US Navy]
[[Farragut Naval Station]] rose almost overnight on wide-open fields and rolling hills that had once served as a seasonal stop for early Indian and pioneer migrations. In late 1941, the U.S. government snapped up the land from private owners, Kootenai County, and a railway company to establish an inland naval base more than 300 miles away from the western coastline, where the nation feared a Japanese invasion. It was named after [[David Farragut]] - who was instrumental in setting up [[Mare Island Naval Shipyard]].
