Set apart from public domain for military purposes in 1903. Designated in honor of Col. John Hay, U.S.V. and later Secretary of State.

John Hay Air Base, more commonly known as Camp John Hay, was a major hill station located near Baguio City used for rest and recreation for personnel and dependents of the United States Armed Forces in the Philippines as well as Department of Defense employees and their dependents.

At present, the former American R&R facility serves as a tourist attraction. Among its current major attractions are the Par-69 golf course, several restaurants and shops, and The Manor and The Suites at Camp John Hay [1].

Formerly home to Companies A and B, 45th Infantry from 1920 to 1941.
