It opened in 1916 as Municipal Pier #2.

Navy Pier was built in 1916 as a local dock point for passenger and freight boats on southern Lake Michigan. It was called Municipal Pier #2 and offered cooler conditions to the public on hot summer days.

It received its current name when used by the US Navy during World War II, primary as a technical training center from 1941 to 1946.
