Starting in 1923,, the California National Guard used the present airport site (known then as the Lannex lowlands) as a training airfield. The site was then dedicated as the "Greenfield Municipal Airport" by then Mayor in 1926, but it had no proper terminal building until 1939, many airlines choosing to utilize Los Angeles, San Francisco or San Diego instead. Once Greenfield's terminal as completed, multiple airlines including Skyliners and Unified began service here. | Starting in 1923,, the California National Guard used the present airport site (known then as the Lannex lowlands) as a training airfield.
