The Rocky Mountain Arsenal was a United States chemical weapons manufacturing center located in the Denver Metropolitan Area in Commerce City, Colorado. The site was completed December 1942,[1] operated by the United States Army throughout the later 20th century and was controversial among local residents until its closure in 1992.[citation needed]
Much of the site is now protected as the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.
