The Manzanar Relocation Center was the first of the relocation centers to open; it was occupied for the second-longest period and housed the fifth largest population. The site is located in east-central California, five miles south of Independence, California. The center was established at a former farm and the community of Manzanar, which was abandoned when the City of Los Angeles purchased the land for its water rights.

In December 1942, the beating of a Japanese-American leader and the arrest of a suspect led to a protest by detainees’, which quickly became a riot. Two men were killed, and ten others were wounded when military police fired into the crowd. In the following days, detainees thought to be troublemakers were removed and isolated. Others were removed for their own safety.
