Administrative History
Records in accretion 19069-14 are of patients from the Sampson State School facility, which was located on the former grounds of Sampson Naval Training Station. The training station was later transferred to the U.S. Air Force. In December 1947, the New York State Department of Mental Hygiene took over Sampson Hospital as an annex to Willard State Hospital. However, it was not until June 1955 that the U.S. Air Force Hospital at Sampson was formally decommissioned and turned over to Willard State Hospital to become the Sampson State School. In October 1971, Sampson State School was officially closed.
