The town was originally a planned community created to support the nearby Shumaker Naval Ammunition Depot. The Chief Maintenance Engineer for the depot, A.T. Smith, designed the general layout of the town and named the streets. East Camden was originally called Billkitts Rental Housing.
Smith later traveled to Washington D.C. to facilitate a deal "over tea" with Lyndon B. Johnson to transfer ownership of the sprawling facilities from Federal hands to Johnson's Brown and Root. Brown and Root's Highland Resources would later transform the depot into an industrial park that catered primarily to defense contractors who could be enticed by the local eight-mile long rocket range, the vast array of underground storage bunkers, highly specialized building infrastructure and excellent railroad system.
East Camden's economy remains heavily dependent on the nearby military weapons factories where, among other items, the MLRS weapon system is manufactured. Lockheed-Martin, Loral Vaught Systems, Atlantic Research Corporation, BEI Defense Systems Company, Tracor Aerospace, Hughes Missile Systems, National Testing Service, Olin Industries, Camden Ordnance, Hitech Incorporated, and Austin Power are some of the defense related occupants of East Camden's Highland Industrial Park.
