Wikipedia description:
Camp Grafton is the main Army National Guard installation in North Dakota. The base, located near Devils Lake, North Dakota, was founded in 1904 as the Rock Island Military Reservation. In 1924, it was renamed after Lieutenant Colonel Gilbert C. Grafton, a prominent North Dakota National Guardsman who had served in the militia since the days of Dakota Territory, and died of disease in 1919. The name change was made official by executive order of the governor of North Dakota in 1952.
