History
Originally constructed as an air transport command base, Coolidge
Army Airfield served as an auxiliary operating base for Williams
Field during World War II.
The original airfield was constructed with three runways in a
triangular configuration. Of these three runways, two remain:
Runway 17-35 and Runway 5-23. Numerous support facilities were
constructed, of which a 120-foot by 80-foot hangar still
remains.
On January 19,1950 the airfield was transferred to Pinal County
since the airfield was no longer needed by the U.S. Department of
the Army.
Pinal County owned and operated the airport until 1959 when the
City of Coolidge obtained ownership of the airport. On March 2 1959
the airport was officially transferred from Pinal County ownership
to the City of Coolidge.
