Operated by the Hampton Roads Port of Embarkation on land leased from the Old Dominion Land Co. In both World Wars I and II, Camp Hill was named for Confederate Lt. Gen. Ambrose P. Hill, C.S.A. During World War I, its over 200 buildings could house 10,000 troops. Located north of 64th Street between Jefferson Avenue and the James River, Camp Hill processed overseas-bound and returning troops, and in World War II included a prisoner of war camp.
