Hinesville History

Plantations and farms raised cotton and rice, Civil War skirmishes essentially shut down the town, but in 1940, land adjacent to town was chosen to become Camp Stewart, an anti-aircraft military training site named for Eleanor Roosevelt’s great-great grandfather. Hinesville boomed with soldiers and services designed to appeal to them, from tattoo parlors to bars and clubs.

Some 55,000 soldiers resided on the base at the time, and with that influx of population, Hinesville boomed. Although the Camp was shut down after World War II, the city’s growth continued, with Hinesville tied to what is now the community of Fort Stewart, home of the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Division and training grounds for the National Guard.
