Background:
Sampson State Park is located on 1,852 acres in Romulus, twelve miles south of Geneva. The terrain is flat and rolling woodlands crossed by ravines. It encompasses the former Indian village of Kendaia, which was eventually settled and developed by farmers. In 1942, the area became the Sampson Naval Training Station. After World War II, it was converted to Sampson State College for returning service men. The U. S. Air Force reopened it as a training station during the Korean War and used it until 1955.
