Notes
  • Significance: First municipally constructed and owned airport in the country. Served as a model for American airport design, and pioneered air traffic control through use of a radio-equipped control tower in 1930. It was the site of the famous Cleveland National Air Races from 1929, 1931-39 and 1946-49, and also the location of a major B-29 bomber plant during World War II. The present airport exists on the same land appropriated through a municipal bond issue in 1924, with some additional land acquired since that time. All original structures have been demolished, although some of the early control tower structure and equipment are at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.
