In consequence of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States Air Force determined that large training bases should be located far inland so that they would not be vulnerable to coastal attack. Colonel E. G. Thomas combed the area in early 1942 searching for good drainage, an accessible water supply and a climate friendly to aircraft landings for an air corps training base.

Colonel Thomas recommended 5,450-acre dry farming area in Kearns, about 14 miles west of Salt Lake City. The area proceeded rapidly with construction, intending the base to be a temporary unit. From April 7 to May 22, 1942, the base grew with the installation of water mains, sewage systems, streets, tarpaper buildings, and electrical systems capable of supporting 30,000 to 70,000 people.

By August 21, 1942 all the barracks had been completed at an estimated total cost of 17 million. Furthermore 25,000 trees, shrubs, and grass were planted to keep the dirt in place while beautifying the base. By the spring of 1943, Kearns had grown into Utah’s largest city and at its peak, stationed 40,000 troops and employed nearly 1200 civilians. In the boom following WWII the newly established city of Kearns became one of Utah’s fastest growing communities. Camp Kearns was closed as an active base in 1946. The buildings and materials were auctioned off in 1948. Some of the first homes in Kearns were built from materials left over from buildings of the base.

Kearns experienced a steady population increase throughout the last half of the twentieth century. Kearns is currently an unincorporated area in Salt Lake County and is the sixth largest city in Utah.
