The center is located in northern Albemarle County, Virginia, just north of Charlottesville. It is approximately 100 miles (160 km) southwest of Washington, D.C., and 85 miles (137 km) west of Richmond, Virginia. It also maintains a test and evaluation facility at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, co-located with the Army's technical intelligence unit, the 203rd Military Intelligence Battalion.

NGIC was created on 8 July 1994, by merging the US Army Foreign Science and Technology Center (FSTC) and the US Army Intelligence and Threat Analysis Center (ITAC). The former headquarters of FSTC in Charlottesville, Virginia, became the headquarters of the new Center. (INSCOM Permanent Order 41-1, 3 June 1994)

The Air Force counterpart to NGIC is the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, located at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio.
