Gladewater Municial Airport from the Air

The site that the Gladewater Municipal Airport currently occupies was used as an airfield with a grass landing strip prior to 1947. In 1947, the Civil Aeronautics Administration, the Texas Department of Aviation, and the City of Gladewater provided funds for the purchase of 124.27 acres from A.F. and Bethel Shepperd for the development of an airport to be owned and operated by the City of Gladewater.

The Gladewater Municipal Airport consists of a terminal building, 2 runways, 6 enclosed city-owned hangars, 10 T-hangars and 49 privately owned hangars.
