Wallerfield
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wallerfield is an area in Trinidad and Tobago. Located south of Arima and north of Cumuto, it served as a United States Army base between 1940 and 1956 (see Destroyers for Bases Agreement), primarily as a military airfield named Fort Read. Since the end of US Army occupation, it was the informal home of various types of racing (using former airstrips) for over 40 years. Today construction progresses for the site of a new multi-million dollar University of Trinidad and Tobago campus complex, several housing developments and other projects.
