An area long prosperous because of its agricultural production, Huntsville’s economy boomed in 1950 when the U.S. Army relocated its missile and rocket programs here. Ten years later, the Army’s space and rocket programs were transferred to the newly born civilian space agency -- NASA -- and the Marshall Space Flight Center was established on July 1, 1960.
