SALT LAKE CITY The area that is now the Salt Lake City International Airport is host to a lot of firsts in its history, a rich fabric of milestones that celebrate the 100th anniversary that is being commemorated this year and marked Monday by airport officials.
Salt Lake City was among the first in the country selected as a home for new airmail stations after the U.S. Postal Service in 1918 established an overnight mail service.
The inaugural flight took place on Sept. 8, 1920, departing from New Jersey that morning and, after a series of relays, the mail reached Salt Lake City by 5:03 p.m. that afternoon.
