Bader Field was opened in 1910 and was authorized to provide passenger service in 1911. The first known usage of the term "air-port" appeared in a newspaper article in 1919, in reference to Bader Field.
It was the founding location of the Civil Air Patrol in 1941. Scheduled air service was available into the 1980s.

Oh, The Humanity! from Ares by Bill Sweetman
