Bradenton
Bradenton would be affected by World War II like many other cities in Florida and the United States. During the war, Manatee County would have its own Civil Defense battalion in it with two subunits existing in Bradenton and another for nearby Manatee. A recreational center would be opened in March 1942 at a building on the intersection of 6th Avenue and 12th Street West in the downtown area to be used by soldiers. The recreation center would close in November 1945 and would be popular with local soldiers and visited even by those who were stationed outside of Bradenton. The Bradenton Police Chief, Clyde Benton would expand the police force by naming 45 officers to serve without pay during the war. Camp Weatherford located at LECOM Field would exist for 8 months at some point during the war as a training center for the US Army Signal Corps. About 350 soldiers would be trained there during its existence. The camp itself often had an issue with being flooded because of the rainy climate, showers at the camp occurring often, clothes being washed, its low elevation and is located nearby to Wares Creek. A soldier named Joe Grossman at the camp would run a radio show broadcasting on WSPB called Weatherford Shinings. Local residents would accommodate the troops stationed at the base in a variety of ways. Bradenton would merge with nearby Manatee (incorporated in 1888) in 1943. Manatee would face similar financial problems as Bradenton did in regards to their bonds and faced high debt levels as a result but Manatee could not pay off the bonds.
