Founded as a Harvard University observation station in Climax, Colorado in 1940. Incorporated under the laws of Colorado in 1946, in 1951 it became a separate institution, with trustees appointed by Harvard and the University of Colorado. About 1954, Harvard's official connections with the station were dissolved.
