In February 1995, Denver International Airport celebrated its opening, becoming the largest in the United States at 33,531 acres. What was its previous name?

Stapleton International opened in 1929, but was originally called Denver Municipal Airport. Because the development of the airport was spearheaded by Denver mayor Benjamin Stapleton, it was renamed for him in 1944 and that remained the name until 1995.
