When founded in 1942, during World War II, the CDC was known as The Office of National Defense Malaria Control Activities. As malaria became less of a threat in the United States, this office expanded it's focus to other diseases, including some Sexually Transmitted Diseases.

This is a list of names that the CDC has used.
