Retrieved October 24, 2007.</ref>  One of these was the Portage Ordnance Depot, which with its twin facility the Ravenna Ordnance Plant became known as the [[Camp Ravenna Joint Military Training Center|Ravenna Arsenal]].  Over 14,000 people were employed at the Arsenal during World War II, and the village of Windham was chosen as the site to house many of these workers.  Windham experienced a population boom as a result; its growth of over 1100% was the largest of any U.S. municipality in the [[United States Census, 1950|1950 Census]], as was reported in the June 1951 edition of ''[[National Geographic]]'' magazine.<ref>Windham Exempted Village School District (1998).
