About us
About our name: During World War II, all that the outside world knew of Los Alamos and its top-secret laboratory was the mailing address—P. O. Box 1663, Santa Fe, New Mexico. That box number, still part of our address, symbolizes our historic role in the nation's service.
Located on the high mesas of northern New Mexico, Los Alamos National Laboratory was founded in 1943 to build the first atomic bomb. It remains a premier scientific laboratory dedicated to national security in its broadest sense. The Laboratory is operated by Los Alamos National Security, LLC, for the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration.
