History
The airport was constructed in the 1957 to replace another airport located in West Portsmouth, Ohio which was situated near the Ohio River. When it first opened, Lake Central Airlines offered services to the airport until Allegheny Air merged with them in 1968. Since then, the airport has been without airline services and is today used for corporate and business services flying out of Portsmouth, Ohio and for flight training.
