Yuba Sutter Arts & Culture is collaborating with the Marysville Japanese American Citizens League to create an Arboga Assembly Center Memorial Site and Interpretive Center.
The Arboga Assembly Center was a temporary detention center in 1942 â many Japanese Americans were forcibly sent to such centers during the spring and summer of 1942 while more permanent concentration camps were being prepared, according to the Densho Encyclopedia.
The center was located about eight miles south of Marysville and was built on a former migrant workersâ camp. The site is south of Broadway Street about one quarter of a mile east of Feather River Boulevard.
David Read, executive director of Yuba Sutter Arts & Culture, said the Marysville Japanese American Citizens League had been planning to develop a memorial for some time but didnât have the funding to do so.
