About Cornelia Fort Airpark
Cornelia Fort Airpark was a privately owned, public-use airport located five nautical miles northeast of the central business district of Nashville, in Davidson County, Tennessee, United States. It was located on Cumberland River bottomland. It is named in honor of Nashvillian Cornelia Fort, the first female pilot to be killed on war duty in American history. The airpark was built in 1945 near the Fort family farm. The 141-acre airport was located on part of a plot of land granted to early Nashvillian Ephraim McLean for service in the Revolutionary War, near what is still known as McLean's Bend in the Cumberland River in East Nashville. The airport operated from 1944 until 2011, when the city of Nashville acquired it to include it as non-aviation part of Shelby Park.
