The Situation Room was created after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion during the Kennedy Administration.
President Kennedy felt he could no longer trust the information coming to him from the various areas of the national defense departments. As a way to ease the tensions and create a place for higher communication after the Bay of Pigs, the Situation Room was created in May 1961.
President Kennedy ordered that every department of defense sector must feed their information to the Situation Room 24 hours a day.
In 2006, the Situation Room has been renoveted.
Tying together a half-century of history, President Obama renamed a secure conference room of the Situation Room on May 13, 2011 after President Kennedy.
