It occupies more than 2,800 acres (11 km2) in three towns: New Boston, Amherst, and Mont Vernon.

Starting in 1959, it was turned into a satellite-tracking station. During the late 1970s and early 1980s it was known as Detachment 1 of the 2014th Communications Squadron located at Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford, Massachusetts.
