#Onthisday in 1940, the Coast Guard Air Station San Francisco was commissioned at San Francisco Airport. In an agreement between San Francisco and the federal government to share costs for dredging and maintaining the new seaplane harbor, and to compensate the City for the U.S. Navy takeover of Treasure Island, San Francisco Airport deeded twenty acres to the federal government for a Coast Guard facility at the head of the newly created seaplane harbor.
