Chaguaramas lies in the North West Peninsula of [[Trinidad]] west of [[Port of Spain]]; the name is often applied to the entire peninsula, but is sometimes used to refer to the most developed area. The entire peninsula was leased to the United States in 1940 for the construction of a naval base under the ''Destroyers for Bases Agreement''. The base was also used during the early 1960s as a BMEWS early warning radar site, as well as serving as a missile tracking site on the U.S. Air Force Eastern Test Range. The base was scaled back in 1956 and the area was returned to [[Trinidad]] and [[Tobago]] control in 1963. It has been the center of Yachting activity in [[Trinidad]].
