History
Hawkins Field traces its origins to February of 1928, when the City of Jackson first acquired 151 acres of land to designate as an airfield. The city bought the original parcel for $53,500, and the airport was originally called "Davis Field." In the summer of 1941, the United States Army assigned Hawkins Field as an Army Air Base. It was not until 1949 that Hawkins was once again classified as a civilian airfield. Year 1928 (MCMXXVIII) was a leap year starting on Sunday (link will display full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ...
