Well, the "town" disappeared with the war. The plant operated for many years after. In the late 1940s, the B-47 Stratojet, the first swept-wing bomber was built at the plant. Later on, early B-52 Stratofortresses were also developed inside the facility. In the 1960s the Boeing 737 was produced there. By the 80s it was just used as a machine shop.
