Military Details
Charles M. Price Support Center located in the Granite City was a United States Army base. This center was originally selected as a site during the First World War as a supply depot for the U.S. Army. However, until the Second World War it was not established. During the war, the installation employed up to 5,200 people and trained an additional 1,500 in engineering supply and maintenance at the center. After the war was over, the depot until being designated in 1961 as the Granite City Army Depot was basically inactive.
During the next 35 years, the center underwent several changes and ultimately closed in 1971. Later the center became the Center for Support Activity of the US Army Aviation Systems Command and its Headquarters. It became the support center for the St. Louis Area center of the US Army in 1975 with a larger support emphasis and about 500 personnel.
