History

The airport was originally known as the W. W. Howes Municipal Airport, named in honor of William Washington Howes, First Assistant Postmaster General under Franklin Roosevelt. Howes brought airmail service to the Midwest. The airport hangar pictured, below, was named the W. W. Howes hangar in 1998 as a result of the efforts of Howes' grandson, Dr. Whiting Wicker.
