It started out as a grass landing strip on a dairy farm on approximately 109 acres of land now owned by the city of Kelso. In 1950, the landing strip was paved. In the 1960s, materials and labor were donated to build an administration building. In 1980, a parallel taxi way was constructed and the runway was reconstructed and realigned.
