[edit] History

The airport opened in June, 1944, as Greeley Municipal Airport. In September of that year it was dedicated as Crosier Field in honor of World War II aviator Clarence F. "Red" Crosier. Joint ownership by the City of Greeley and Weld County began in 1963, with a new terminal and hangars added throughout that decade. The Greeley-Weld County Airport Authority was established in 1978 and is responsible for operation and development of the airport. A new 10,000-foot (3,000 m) runway and a new terminal were opened in 2000.[1]
