Today I was looking at an old terminal map of JFK from 1962,
noticed that Northwest was in terminal 2 which is now Delta
and United was in terminal 9 which is now part of American.
when and why did UA and NW move out of their own signature
terminals. Today, I believe NW uses terminal 4 and UA terminal 7.

UA moved into the BA terminal (7) in the late '80's when there was the flirtation of an alliance. The alliance went nowhere but UA remains, though occupying a decreasing footprint.
In the "What's old is new again" category, I recently flew from JFK to YVR on AC. The check-in was handled by UA in the BA terminal. When the BA (then BOAC) terminal originally opened AC was a major tenant.

Around 1964 or 65 Northwest, Braniff, and Northeast shared a building next to the Eastern building which of course, is gone now. As you entered the Airport terminal areas by car, the NW-NE-BN building was the first one on the right...then Eastern-Mohawk, Pan Am and then the International Arrival Building.
Once inside, as you walked past the ticket counters toward the gates, NW had the ones on the right, Northeast and their Yellowbirds to the left and BN was at the end of the building.
In my younger days, my cousins and I walked all around the terminal oval more than once. We even got to go in tower once which was one floor above the obervation deck. The door was open so we walked up the stairs. I asked the first guy I came to if we could look around for a minute and he said ONLY for a minute.
That tower is gone now but the memories are alive. Those were the days.......

Quoting Dtwclipper (Reply 2): NW really didn't have their "own" terminal, but shared it with DL which was the major tenent.
It appeared that Northeast Airlines was in the same terminal
as Northwest, maybe it became the Delta terminal after the
acquisition of NE in the early 70's.

Quoting Timz (Reply 5): Eastern was first, wasn't it?
You just may be correct. The brain is a little fuzzy going back that far.
I do know that to the right was EA, NW-BN, PA then the International building.
On the left was UA-DL the AA.I have an old map of the buildings at the other house we are moving to. There, I hope to have a library of airline/airliner info set up in the basement next to a computer for quick ref. Its in the drawing stages now.

With service to where?
YUL and YYZ for certain...DC-9's and 727's back in the day. I don't know where else they might've flown.
