Origin

The Legion of Super-Heroes Headquarters was the headquarters of the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 30th century. Originally, the Legionnaires operated from the Legion Clubhouse that served as a gathering place for their members.

(Adventure Comics v1 #300) A fearsome battle against the Fatal Five led to the Clubhouse being badly damaged with the Legion considering rebuilding it after a period of rest. (Adventure Comics v1 #366) Ultimately, the United Planets decided that in recognition of the Legion's service that they would fund the creation of a new headquarters for the superhero team. (Adventure Comics v1 #367)

Reboot

For a year, the Legion also began a secret project at creating an independent headquarters allowing them to be independent from the United Planets. Much of the private funding came from R.J. Brande who wanted to aid the Legionnaires in having a base of operations that suited them. This led to construction of Legion World that was an artificial planetoid whose location was in deep space where it was kept cloaked to prevent detection. (Legion v1 #3)
