[1] Boulder City Airport was dedicated on December 10, 1933,[2] although it appears to have been operational at least a month earlier, per a newspaper report of the era.

[2] On April 3, 1938, the airport began airmail service, linking Los Angeles and San Francisco eastward.

[6] Trans World Airlines (TWA) opened a terminal at the airport the following month, and operated at Boulder City through the late 1940s.

[2] In December 1949, the Civil Aeronautics Authority (CAA) suspended commercial flights from operating at Boulder City, due to its runways not meeting minimum standards, causing TWA to use McCarran Field near Las Vegas.

A 1958 topographic map by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) shows the airport layout as three runways just southeast of U.S. Route 93.
