In 1951 the United States Air Force brought proceedings to condemn and acquire the Wichita Municipal Airport for what was to become McConnell Air Force Base. Wichita’s park board quickly acquired 1,923 acres (778 ha) of land in southwest Wichita and the construction of a new “Wichita Municipal Airport” took about three and a half years.
