During [[World War I]], Jeffersonville contributed to the war effort largely through its production capabilities. On the eve of war, the Quartermaster Depot began producing a wide range in items, including [[Saddle seat|saddles]], harnesses, stoves, and kitchen utensils. Most famously, though, the depot produced 700,000 shirts per month, earning it the nickname "America's largest shirt factory."<ref name="Nokes-2002" /> Meanwhile, the [[American Car and Foundry Company]]'s local plant manufactured a variety of products ranging from components for over 228,000 [[artillery]] [[Shell (projectile)|shells]] to 18,156 cake turners.<ref name="Nokes-2002" />

Shortly after the war ended in 1918, civilian employment at the Quartermaster Depot fell to 445, and military presence dropped to just ten [[officer]]s and two [[Enlisted rank|enlisted]].<ref name="Nokes-2002" />
