General Note
Constructed in 1941 as an auxiliary landing field to train Naval Aviators during World War II, the Airport was named West Prospect Field. The Federal Government deeded the property to the City of Fort Lauderdale in 1947 to be used as a public airport. In 1959, the City of Fort Lauderdale's City Commission Resolution #7336 changed the airport's name to "Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport."
