The origins of Palmdale Regional Airport go to the early 1930s, when a small airstrip was built in the desert.
It was listed in 1935 documentation as CAA Intermediate #5.
It was established by the Bureau of Air Commerce (later the Civil Aeronautics Administration) who maintained a network of emergency landing fields.
It provided a pilot in distress with a better alternative than landing on a public road or a farmer's field.
