Nike Missile Control Site LA-96

Built in the early 1950s, Nike Missile Control Site LA-96 in Canoga Park, CA was a significant site in the nation's air defense during the Cold War. It served as a control center for Nike surface-to-air missiles, which were designed to protect the Los Angeles area from potential nuclear attacks. This site was part of a larger network of similar missile sites that were scattered throughout the United States. During its operation, the Nike Missile Control Site LA-96 was a heavily guarded base that was manned 24 hours a day by military personnel. It was equipped with radar technology and communication systems to track and intercept any incoming missiles. While fortunately no actual attacks occurred, the site played a crucial role in America's deterrence strategy and served as a symbol of the intense nuclear tension during that time period. Today, the site has been preserved and is open for public tours, providing visitors with a unique and educational experience to learn about this important chapter in American history.
