Pillar Point Air Force Station

In June 1944, a short-range UHF Surface Craft Detection Radar System, model SCR-296, built by Western Electric Company was installed.

It is connected to the coast by a narrow isthmus on the northeastern side, with Pillar Point Bluff, a county park, almost perpendicular to it.

In the 19th century, the land where Pillar Point Air Force Station now resides was part of Rancho Corral de Tierra.

The Half Moon Bay Flight Strip is now Eddie Andreini Sr. Airfield.

There is a prehistoric artifact site, CA-SMA-151, at the station, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
