=== Civil War era (1849 β late 1800s) === On April 24 1861, the midshipmen of the [[Naval Academy]] relocated their base in Annapolis and were temporarily housed in [[Newport, Rhode Island]], until October 1865.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Munch|first=Vincent A.|date=March 2001|title=News Library|journal=Reference Reviews|volume=15|issue=3|pages=17|doi=10.1108/rr.2001.15.3.17.145|issn=0950-4125}}</ref> In 1861, the first of three camps that were built for holding paroled soldiers was created on the campus of [[St. John's College (Annapolis/Santa Fe)|St. John's College]]. The second location of [[Camp Parole, Annapolis|Camp Parole]] would house over 20,000 and would be located where Forest Drive is currently. The third and final location was finished in late 1863 and would be placed near the Elkridge Railroad, as to make transportation of soldiers and resources easier before and allowing the camp to grow to its highest numbers.<ref>{{Cite study|title=Current Population Survey, August 2005: Veterans Supplement|date=2008-04-04|doi = 10.3886/icpsr04555}}</ref> This area just west of the city is still referred to as [[Parole, Maryland|Parole]].
