History
Dateland began as a road stop in the 1920s. During World War II, Dateland was the site of two of General Patton's desert training camps, Camp Horn and Camp Hyder. In addition, in 1942, three airstrips were built in Dateland for training B25 Bombers, including the Dateland Air Force Auxiliary Field. The U.S. military still uses the Dateland area for periodic training. American troops that served in Iraq and Afghanistan have spent some time training in Dateland. Sugar rationing in 1942 during World War II led to the increase of date production in Arizona, leading to growing popularity for dates as a sweet alternative to candy, boosting Arizona's date industry. After the closure of the airfield, the land was subdivided in the 1970s. The developers of one subdivision on the former airfield, El Camino Del Sol, were convicted of fraud in 1977. Most of Dateland consists of undeveloped lots.
