Gunter Annex, a United States Air Force installation in northeastern Montgomery, operates under dedicated ZIP code 36118 in Montgomery County. Named after former Mayor William Adams Gunter (1871-1940), an aviation advocate who championed the original Montgomery Municipal Airport construction in 1929, the facility opened as a military training base in 1940. The field was officially named "Gunter Field" in early 1941, and the installation was the first base established by the Southeastern Training Center exclusively for Basic Flight Training. The "ECI" in postal aliases refers to the Extension Course Institute, located at Gunter since May 1950. The USPS assigned this unique postal designation before 2004.
During World War II, nearly 400 airplanes were involved in training and the skies were described as the "densest air traffic in the world." Over 12,000 cadets from America, Britain, France, and China earned their wings here before the school closed in September 1945. The facility became Gunter Air Force Base in 1948, an Air Force Station in 1973, and was consolidated under Maxwell AFB in March 1992. Today it serves as Gunter Annex, home to the Business and Enterprise Systems Directorate. Located near Montgomery's Capitol Heights neighborhood, the single delivery code reflects military mail operations. Census demographic data is not available for this military installation.
