History
However, once separated, the facility retained its history and kept all building numbers the same; i.e., all start with a "9". 9, and later as Eglin AFB Auxiliary Field 9/Hurlburt Field, before being administratively separated from the rest of the Eglin AFB complex in the 1950s. It was initially designated Eglin Auxiliary Field No. The installation was named by then-Eglin base commander Brigadier General Grandison Gardner for First Lieutenant Donald Wilson Hurlburt (1919-1943), who was killed in an aircraft crash at the main base, then known as Eglin Field, in 1943. Hurlburt began as a small training field for the much larger Eglin Field.
