History of SFO Airport
San Francisco Airport was once predominantly cow pasture. It was first named Mills Field Municipal Airport when it opened on May 7, 1927. Eight years later Pan American World Airways began operations at SFO offering a flying boat service across the Pacific. After WWII, United Airlines also began to offer flights from SFO to Hawaii and other U.S. cities. In 1954 the main terminal opened and soon thereafter the airport was renamed San Francisco International Airport. New terminals for domestic flights were built in 1974 and the new $1 billion international terminal opened in December 2000.
