Campori, whose name originated as ''Campus Orientalis'', was an occasional military marshaling ground during the time of [[Great Levantia]] and was sparsely populated for most of [[Urcea]]'s history. Even after being incorporated into the city as part of the [[Administrative Reorganization Act of 1892]], Campori remained largely rural until after the [[Second Great War]]. The area was developed by the [[Government of Urcea]] with large public housing projects intended for veterans of the war and their families. The projects were intended to be models for the rest of the country, but ran into significant problems during construction including cost overruns, and many of the houses were not complete until the early 1950s. The area was considered up and coming during the 1950s and 60s, but generally began to decline as the population of Second Great War veterans began to move away in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The population of veterans was gradually replaced by other groups of Urceans on waiting lists for housing, namely {{wp|Vagrancy|vagrants}} from across the country, recently released convicts, and other generally impoverished people. The introduction of these groups lead to a dramatic relocation of the veteran communities by the mid 1970s, leading the area to significant economic decline. The situation partly stabilized with the introduction of [[Crona|Cronan]] immigrants during the 20th century, but due to the prevalence of tower blocks the area remains a major source of housing stock for those with very low incomes in Urcea.
