This former general aviation airport was evidently established at some point between 1958-60, as no airfield at this location was yet depicted on the February 1958 Estacado Plain World Aeronautical Chart (according to Chris Kennedy).
At some point between 1960-62, the field was evidently renamed "Shallowater" Airport, as that is how it was labeled on the August 1962 Dallas Sectional Chart (courtesy of David Brooks). It depicted Shallowater as having a 2,800' unpaved runway.
