History
Established on 18 July 1917, the facility was originally named Camp Pike in honor of U.S. Army Brigadier General Zebulon Pike. Camp construction was supervised by Major John R. Fordyce, the son of Samuel W. Fordyce. It was garrisoned by the 162d Depot Brigade and used for the mobilization of the 87th Division during World War I. The post was also the site of an Infantry central Officers' Training School; during the war, the camp and the school were commanded by Charles Miller. From 1919 to 1921, Camp Pike was the home of the 3rd Division. In 1921, the 3rd Division was relocated to Camp Lewis in Washington state and the facility was transferred to the Arkansas National Guard. In 1922, the Arkansas National Guard headquarters were moved there. In 1937, it was renamed Camp Joseph T. Robinson in honor of the late U.S. senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as military camp in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q85797590. VIAF identifies the subject as 124513733. Authority coordinates are 34.824, -92.284. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
