The airport was activated in August of 1946. The 1927 trans-Atlantic flight of Charles Lindbergh led to development of municipal airports generally in Oklahoma.[2]

The airport averaged 67 aircraft operations per week for the 12-month period ending 26 November 2019.[4] Twelve aircraft were then based at the airport: 10 single-engine and 2 multi-engine.[4]
