found: Wikipedia WWW site, March 16, 2015(Manzanar was the first of the ten concentration camps to be established. Initially, it was a temporary "reception center", known as the Owens Valley Reception Center from March 21, 1942, to May 31, 1942. At that time, it was operated by the US Army's Wartime Civilian Control Administration (WCCA). Owens Valley Reception Center was transferred to the WRA on June 1, 1942, and officially became the "Manzanar War Relocation Center." Manzanar held 10,046 incarcerees at its peak, and a total of 11,070 people were incarcerated there. On November 21, 1945, the WRA closed Manzanar, the sixth camp to be closed.)
