Tanforan Racetrack Japanese Assembly Center

Racetrack opened in 1899 and had racing seasons until it burned down in 1964. Many famous horses raced and won here.

In 1942, Tanforan became a temporary assembly center for over 4000 persons of Japanese ancestry who were to be interned for the duration of World War II.
