Dwight D. Eisenhower
Fact: Camp David, the presidential retreat nestled in Maryland’s Catoctin Mountains, was named by President Dwight D. Eisenhower after his grandson, David Eisenhower. Originally known as “Shangri-La” by Franklin Roosevelt, Eisenhower felt the name was too grandiose and chose a more personal designation. Renaming the retreat “Camp David” reflected his desire for simplicity and affection for his grandson. The retreat has become a historic site where presidents host foreign leaders, hold meetings, and find respite from Washington’s pressures.
Correct Answer: Dwight D. Eisenhower
