Mile 7 Naval Radio Station

The US Navy, according to its own account, established a radio station near Cordova at mile 7 on the CR&NW in 1908. However, this photo from that period refers to it as belonging to the United Wireless Telegraph Company, which went bankrupt in 1912.

Whatever the details of the transition, the radio station became part of the larger Navy radio network, remained at the mile 7 location, and grew over the years.
