from the back of the above sign......."Between 1940 and 1945, the city experienced renewed development. The population increased from 1752 to 3026 as a result of the wartime contruction of Benjamin Lee Field, a 1500 acre air auxillary complex, by the U.S. Navy. With the end of World War II, thirteen piers were contructed by the Navy and the Green Cove base became home port to a "mothball fleet" of some 600 ships. With its share of returning war veterans, the community's population grew through the 1950s to a total of 4233 in 1960. In 1961, the Navy decommissioned its base and the reserve fleet was transferred to another facility. In 1984, the city annexed the former naval base into its corporate limits, tying this part of its heritage to its future growth and deveopment."
