The history of Delta Air Lines begins with Huff Daland Dusters, Inc., the first ever aerial crop dusting company in the world. The company was established in Macon, Georgia on March 2, 1925. It then moved to Monroe, Louisiana in the summer of 1925. The Huff-Daland Duster was the first crop duster to be flown, and it was used to fight the boll weevil invasion of cotton crops. C.E. Woolman, general manager and later Delta's first CEO, led a group of local investors to acquire the company's assets. Delta Air Service was founded on December 3, 1928 and was named after the Mississippi Delta region.
