Where NASA Launches Rockets
Wallops Island is a six square mile island off the Eastern Shore.
Wallops Island proper, originally known as Kegotank Island, was granted to John Wallop by the Crown on April 29. 1692. The Commonwealth of Virginia seized the property in 1876 and in 1877 in lieu of unpaid taxes.
In 1947, the U.S. Navy began leasing land for aviation ordnance testing.
The island is primarily used for NASA’S Wallops Flight Facility.
