Yuma Airport History
Yuma International Airport has a rich history that dates back to the early 1900s. In 1910, a small landing field was established near the current airport location. This landing field was used to support the military during World War I. In 1928, the city of Yuma purchased the land and developed it into a commercial airport.
In 1925, the Chamber's Aviation Committee decided to build a first-class landing field in Yuma. They began negotiating with government officials and made an agreement on how much land would be traded for it: one steel frame hangar capable of housing 12 airplanes.
This deal also included Congressman Douglas' bill asking them lease 640 acres of federal land at $1 per year, with privilege to renew another 20 years.
