History of Camp Hopkins
Established on 6 Mar 1863 by Colonel Edward James and the 106th New York Volunteer Infantry as a Union camp protecting the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad just north of the North Mountain Depot.

The camp was built at the top of a steep hill with rows of conical Sibly tents arranged in company streets aligned in line-of-battle order.

The command abandoned the camp on 13 June 1863 and departed to pursue General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia.
