The site is located in New York. The Department of the Navy utilized 122.9 acres of the property as an naval depot between 1899 until 1965. In 1957, the Navy declared the parcel to be excess and the parcel was turned over to the General Services Administration (GSA). In 1960, GSA was given jurisdiction over the property and used the site for records and raw materials (copper and rubber) stockpile storage, while the Maritime Adminstration used the main wharf for occasional transshipment of heavy freight. In 1965, the property was acquired by the NYS Park Commission, who is still the current owner of the Naval Ammunition Depot site.
