History
In 1783 several hundred members of The Religious Society of Friends moved from the newly founded United States of America to Pennfield as a result of The American Revolution.
During the summer of 1940, and as part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, an airport was constructed to train pilots for World War II action. The Royal Canadian Air Force allowed the Royal Canadian Navy to use their equipment for High Frequency Direction Finding activities against German submarines in the Atlantic.
In October 2012, Pennfield had a major route change when Route 1 opened as part of the Route 1 Gateway Project.[1]
