The Hispanic population is expected to reach about 106 million in 2050, about double what it is today, according to new U.S. Census Bureau population projections.
Camp Roberts is located in San Luis Obispo County, just miles from Paso Robles, Lake Nacimiento, and Oak Shores. This 43,000 acre base located between Los Angeles and San Francisco is used primarily for 3 branches of the armed forces: 1  National Guard.
Camp Roberts opened in 1941 as thousands of U.S. Army troops prepared for World War II. The base reached its peak population of 45,000 soldiers in 1945. When the war ended, the base went from bustling to mostly barren as it transitioned to training military reserves in the summer.
