before 1939 · Hill Air Force Base
Named in honor of Major Ployer Peter Hill, Hill Field started as an ill-fated Air Mail experiment. Hoping to be located closer to the Salt Lake City area, the present-day site near Ogden was a clear favorite. In July 1939, Congress gave the green light for the establishment and construction of the Ogden Air Depot. Hill Field officially opened on 7 November 1940. Hill Field officially became Hill Air Force Base after World War II and continued to store and maintain warplanes during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Today the Air Force Base is still in service, but it also has an Aerospace Museum on site where many people visit each year to learn of its history in Northern Utah.
1941
Japanese attack Pearl Harbor.
1945 · Peace in a Post War World
The Yalta Conference was held in Crimea to talk about establishing peace and postwar reorganization in post-World War II Europe. The heads of government that were attending were from the United States, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union. Later the Conference would become a subject of controversy at the start of the Cold War.
Name Meaning
English (Lancashire): from one or more lost or unidentified places, probably in Lancashire, named with Middle English fair(e) ‘beautiful’ + clo(u)gh ‘narrow valley, ravine’ (see Clough ). Fairclough Farm in Chipping, Lancashire is a candidate for the surname's origin, although early forms of the placename are lacking. A number of the earliest bearers came from Shevington, Lancashire, where the narrow valley of the River Douglas may perhaps have have been known in the medieval period as Fairclough.
