The airport sits on 13,555 acres (5,486 ha, 21.2 sq.mi.) [5] [6] of land just southeast of Fort Myers, making it the third-largest airport in the United States in terms of land size (after Denver and Dallas/Fort Worth). 6,000 acres of the land has been conserved as swamp lands and set aside for environmental mitigation.
Passenger air service began at the airport in 1937 when National Airlines commenced regular flights. However, those were soon discontinued due to the poor landing conditions on the unpaved runways. [3] [4] The city of Fort Myers deeded the airport to Lee County in 1939, and the airport was then known as Lee County Airport.
