It was established in 1941 to provide ordnance shells for the nearby Huntsville Arsenal Chemical Warfare Service during World War II. Initially known as the Redstone Ordnance Plant, it was one of the first munitions plants in the country to employ women. By December 1942, forty percent of the production line employees were women.
