IBM Armonk Headquarters and Cold War Nuclear Safety
IBM moved its headquarters from New York City to Armonk, New York, during the 1950s due to fears of a Soviet nuclear attack. Research at the time suggested the location was one of the safest in the country regarding wind patterns and radioactive fallout. The area is currently noted for its high concentration of hedge fund managers.

01:41 For two days, little mini family reunion. Beautiful area by the way for people who want to visit It is If you like douchebag hedge fund managers They've bought up the entire area And there's a little curry homestead which has been in our family since 1929 You know why IBM isn't Armonk? It used to be headquartered in New York City Um...for the quality of living A-bombs Come again they were worried sick in the fifties all that i remember that new york is going to get bombed by the russians and this will be a good hideout and they decided that they did a bunch of research needed to figure out what's the safest place in the country to be in case of a uh... nuclear war and our market right there are not as it how can that be the safest place in case of a nuclear war that's what they decided at the time when they moved headquarters to arm on
