    Everglades City Airpark

    Everglades Airpark (FAA LID: X01) is a public-use airport located 1 mile (1.6 km) southwest of the central business district of the city of Everglades CityinCollier County, Florida, United States. The airport is publicly owned.[1]

    History[edit]

    The airport was constructed in the 1940s by the Collier family and was used by the Civil Air Patrol, the Air Force, and private pilots.[2][3] The runway was initially a 1,000 foot paved strip with 500 feet of grass on either end.[2][3] President Harry Truman dedicated the Everglades National Park at the airport in December 1947.[2][3]

    In 1968, Collier County purchased Everglades Airpark from the Collier family for $125,000.[2] In 1993, the Collier County Airport Authority was created to manage the development and operations of three local, publicly owned airports—Everglades Airpark, Immokalee Regional Airport, and Marco Island Executive Airport.[4]

    Incidents[edit]

    On September 9, 1960, Hurricane Donna destroyed the airport's hangar, office, fuel station, and other buildings.[2][3]
