In the 1930s, two Civilian Conservation Corps Camps were established in Harold Parker State Forest, Camp S-5 (Company 110) and Camp S-76 (Company 167). The camps work included reforestation work, damming ponds, road and trail creation, building recreational facilities. Camp S-76 also provided assistance to local communities during emergencies. [1]
