Description
Historical photo from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). On April 20, 1943, the University of California signed a contract with the United States Army Corps of Engineers to operate a secret laboratory in the mountains of northern New Mexico. The university accepted the task of managing Los Alamos as a service to the nation. The Los Alamos Laboratory sprang up overnight. Nearly all of the Lab buildings were around the Pond during the war. There was no nice grassy area and later on the Pond was fenced in.
