Area 51 got its name from its location on a grid map. The U.S. Geological Survey designated the area as "Area 51" because it simply corresponds to its location on a grid in the Nevada Test and Training Range. It was not officially acknowledged until the CIA publicly acknowledged its existence in 2013.
