Communities of Origin
[edit]The population of Merced interns came from mostly rural communities. During the Executive Order 9066, 1,600 people came from Colusa County and Yolo County. Around 1,400 came from nearby regions of Modesto, Merced, and Turlock. 1,000 more came from northern coastal towns. [1] 5,284 people were brought to Merced Assembly Centers in total.[2] Most of the interns were from rural farming communities.
Many owned land, approximately 30% of the 6,000 evacuees. Most had to sell their land, but evacuees from Cortez, Cressey, and Livingston were part of farming organizations that ensured that they could keep their farms and homes. [3]
