Charlotte Army Ordnance Missile Plant

---

Douglas Aircraft Company operated the plant for the Army. The facility assumed Nike Ajax production in 1955 to allow Douglas to use its Santa Monica facility for the production of the follow-on Hercules missile. Eventually the Charlotte plant also produced the longer-range Hercules. In 1962, the new U.S. Army Missile Command (MICOM) assumed responsibility for the plant. The plant employed over 2,000 people.

In 1967, with the completion of Nike Hercules production, the plant was declared excess.
