The US Navy started testing seaplanes at Anacostia back in 1918. It eventually became a naval air station, supporting conventional aircraft. Located immediately north of Bolling AFB, NAS Anacostia remained in active service until 1962, when its runways were deactivated along with Bolling's due to traffic pattern conflicts with the nearby Washington National Airport. On 1 October 2010 the base was conjoined with the adjacent Bolling Air Force Base to form the Joint Base Anacostia–Bolling.
