LGB History
During the early 1920s, the airplanes use
to land and take off on Long Beach’s
huge, crescent-shaped beach. In 1923, the
Long Beach City Council allocated 150 acres
near the intersection of Spring and Cherry
Streets for use as an airfield. Named Daugherty
Field (after Earl S. Daugherty, one of the
area's pioneer aviators), the new airport
provided Long Beach with its debut into
the aviation industry.
During the mid-1930s two runways were constructed
and in 1936 the Civil Aeronautics Authority
(now the Federal Aviation Administration)
formally activated a control tower. By 1941,
Daugherty Field had increased to 500 acres.
As smaller capacity aircraft
were phased out of service in favor of
large jets such as the Boeing 737 and
Douglas DC-9, the Long Beach terminal
needed to grow. But it wasn’t until
1984, that a new concourse area and pre-boarding
lounge were constructed immediately south
of the existing terminal building. This
improvement project provided better accessibility
for patrons with disabilities, improved
mobility in the passenger screening process,
and improved ticketing and check-in processing
of airport users. Since the distinguishing
architectural characteristics of the terminal
were not altered, the building was named
a City of Long Beach Cultural Heritage
Landmark in 1990.
The airport is well situated
halfway between the major business and
tourism areas of both Orange and Los Angeles
Counties. Currently, there are over 200
businesses located on airport property,
including nearly 100 acres of mid-rise
business park and hotel uses, several
top-rate fixed base operators, and specialty
aviation service companies, as well as
Cessna Citation and Gulfstream Aerospace
aircraft service centers.
Presently, Long Beach
Airport covers 1,166 acres and has five
runways, the longest being 10,000 feet.
It is a hub of corporate activity as well
as being one of the world's busiest airports
in terms of general aviation activity.
