History

Main article: Cross City Air Force Station

The airport was opened as a public airfield in April 1940. In August 1942, the facility was requisitioned by the

Orlando Army Air Base
, Florida.

After the war, the airfield was returned to civil control. However, in the 1950s, the

Air Defense Command (ADC), later renamed the Aerospace Defense Command. This facility remained at Cross City Air Force Station and was part of the ADC's 20th Air Division from 1959 to 1969 when the facility was closed and transferred back to civilian control.[3] In 1972, the Florida Department of Corrections commenced converting the former Cross City Air Force Station to a prison for adult male offenders known as the Cross City Correctional Institution
.
