First dedicated on September 8, 1923 as Boston Airport. In 1923 the airfield was used by World War I pilots from the 101st Squadron, 26th Division Air Service of the Massachuttes National Guard. During 1923 and 1928 the airport was leased to the U.S. Government with the provision that the airport would be kept open for private and commercial use. In 1925 the first commercial hangar was built by Boston Aircraft Corporation and in 1927 the first regularly scheduled commercial passenger services was begun by Colonial Air Transport, a predecessor of American Airlines. In 1948 legislation was passed naming a five-member Sate Airport Management Board to operate the airport. In 1956 the legislature created Massport which took over the ownership and operations of the airport in 1959. It was in that year that the airport was officially renamed the Lieutenent General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport. Between 1964 and 1974 Logan was expanded to it's current size.
