The Dayton Project was a research and development project to produce polonium during World War II, as part of the larger Manhattan Project to build the first atomic bombs. Unit III of the Dayton Project retains six buildings built by the Monsanto Company for polonium research and refinement. Monsanto leased the site in 1943 from the Dayton Board of Education and converted it into a laboratory. Monsanto used Unit III for atomic research until its decommissioning in 1948.
