1930 - United Airport Terminal Dedication

1930

The airport in Burbank first opened as the United Airport in May,1930. It changed its name to the Union Air Terminal in 1934 and has undergone numerous name changes over the years. United Airport was dedicated amid much festivity (including an air show) on Memorial Day weekend (May 30 – June 1), 1930. The airport and its handsome Spanish Revival-style terminal was a showy competitor to nearby Grand Central Airport in Glendale, which was then Los Angeles' main airline terminal. The new Burbank facility was actually the largest commercial airport in the Los Angeles area until it was eclipsed in 1946 by the Los Angeles Airport. (Wikipedia)
