I think the name was chosen for someones birthday that day who was a high ranking officer and he just had to use the number 51 as a great reminder of that day. Otherwise it's not an important number at all and one that has no meaning at all.
As for being a secret there and so many military standing guard there is another matter which we may never know the true reason for it because as we all know very well, the military is not going to reveal what's there because they themselves don't know for sure either.
And this isn't the most secret place in America either but one that we all know about and by keeping all of us wondering about what it's all about the military can continue on with all of the more important and secret and more heavily guarded areas that we don't know about as yet anyway.
The military is only pacifying the world with their area 51.

it's called area 51, because it was the 51st area on the map. area 51, is also catchy, therefore it's called area 15 rather than dreamland, groom lake(named for the dry lake bed it's built upon), neverland, or any of it's other various nicknames. today the seceure facility known as "area 51" extends beyond what was labled the 51st area on the map. there used to be a
yes, there have been overhead shots that make the surface look like the moon, but i highly doubt they faked the moon landing there, or anywhere for that matter.
finally the reason this base is secure, is because it's an aircraft testing site. famous, high performance aircraft such as the F-117 Nighthawk, and the B-2 Spirit, and the fabulous SR-71 Blackbird have been developed in area 51. they are developed in secret so the enemy dosen't know about them, and has no way to counter them.in the 50s-80s, when we built a jet, russia would build one that was similar, it was like a space race. so, to eleminate that, we took one of our old testing facilitys located on a dry lake bed(area 51) and developed aircraft there in secret. who knows what aircraft they may be devoloping today.
many speculate that they're developing an aircraft that goes mach 8 and leaves a vapor trail that's similar to donuts on a rope(rings around a solid line)

Oh, I'm positive that area 51 IS NOT the most secret place in the United States. In fact, it's not a secret at all.

There are a lot of conspiracy theories surrounding Area 51. The actual reason for the name is not known. As for what goes on there that is also not actually known. Many believe that it houses alien spacecraft or is nothing more than an classified test facility. Visit the website below. They have done a lot of research.

I'm pretty sure there are other "Area" designations and Area 51 just happens to be the one that has the top-secret experiments. Oh, by the way, government agents are coming to your house now, have a good day. lol

must be a map reference ,have you ever thought of that
it is also a training range for experimental aircraft
and they keep all kinds of secrets there .
check the Alien interview ,was also at Area 51
and the Rosswell incident
there are suposed to be many underground levels
to serve as nuclear shelter
and where the Cia ,does unspeakable things
which must remain unsaid

Who knows? Maybe Area 51 is the diversion? If you know about it, then it isn't very secret now is it?
