History
The airport was built by developer William E. Richardson in 1960.[1] Richardson deeded title to the land to Montgomery County, which leased the land back to Richardson to operate the airport.[1] Richardson planned to operate charter flights and an air taxi to National Airport, Baltimore's Friendship Airport, and the soon-to-be-opened Dulles Airport.[1] The airport was dedicated on October 22, 1960.[2] After having a simple hangar during its first four years of operation, a terminal building was built in 1964.[3]
