Mills Field Municipal Airport opened on 150 acres of pasture land leased from the Mills Family on 05/07/1927. The airport was known as Mills Field for 4 years, from 1927-1931; it then became known as San Francisco Municipal Airport from 1931-1955, and thereafter as San Francisco International Airport.

The airport was first opened on May 7, 1927 on 150 acres (607,000 m²) of cow pasture. The land was leased from prominent local landowner Ogden L. Mills, (who in turn had leased it from his grandfather Darius O. Mills) and was named Mills Field Municipal Airport. It remained Mills Field until 1931, when it was renamed San Francisco Municipal Airport. "Municipal" was replaced by "International" in 1955.
