- Harris Creek in Pawnee, which has long gone dry, again sees waterflow as an overflow canal for fresh water. This provides a lot of opportunity for development in Pawnee as land values will likely increase.
- Oliver Farm and Victoria Farm in Harrison are sold to the city as the downtown area expands. The land is being used for two new train stations, a new high school (George Oliver High School), and overall development of the land. Much of the production of these farms is moved to nearby Dale Farm and Heather Farm.
- A new tram line is built from downtown through Winston and ending at the Mulberry Beach amusement park at the railroad bridge.
- In 1942, the United States government purchases a large tract of land near Siluria to build an air force training base.
- The entire region mobilizes its industries to assist the war effort, with a new local railroad line looping through the region with cargo stations at the airport in Siluria, Reed Station, Hamilton, and Hunter Crossing. Simultaneously, a local passenger rail line loops the region with passenger stations at Harrison, Port Murray, Florence, Pawnee, Reed Station, Jackson, Hamilton, Carsten, and Hunter Crossing.
- The town of Carsten is incorporated. @CarstenB
- A new city park with a large fountain is built downtown to celebrate the end of World War II.
