This Day in Boston History
December 8th, 1923
Logan Airport Dedicated

|
Now the country's
17th busiest airport, and one of the thirty busiest in the world, Boston's
Logan International Airport began operation as Boston Airport in 1923
as nothing more than a mail stop and a home base for small planes.
In 1944 the airfield was dubbed Commonwealth Airport, but in 1952 it was
renamed Logan International Airport to honor General Edward Lawrence Logan,
who served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives and Senate, and
as a municipal court judge.
