Our History

The property on which DeKalb Peachtree Airport is now located was formerly a part of the site of Camp Gordon, a World War I Army training base. After World War I, the government disposed of Camp Gordon property at public auction and it was purchased by T.R. Sawtell, a real-estate man who began selling parcels of the property for farm land. At this time, however; a number of aviation enthusiasts in the Atlanta area banded together and formed the Atlanta Aero Club.
