The Civilian Conservation Corps provided employment for thousands of deserving men Company 810 came to Stapp Oklahoma from Fort Sill on May 24 1933. The men slept in 8 man army tents until late 1933 at which time they moved into 40 man barracks. Cedar Lake area parks and Forest Service roads were built by CCC Company 810.
