The plant was commissioned by the War Department on June 4, 1941, as an assembly facility for boosters, detonators, fuses and primers. Workers, mainly women, traveled to the plant from [[Little Rock]] in bus shuttles provided by [[Inter-City Transit]] and the [[Missouri Pacific Railroad]]. Many families began moving into the adjacent [[Sunny Side Housing Project]] within a year or two. More than twelve thousand people worked at the plant during the height of World War II. The plant closed in 1946 and was put up for sale.
