The airport takes its name from the locale near New Jerusalem Elementary School. In 1874, local pioneer Henry Ebe, whose family were Dunkard Brethren, donated the land for the school, stipulating that it take that name.
In 1989, the airport was used as a filming location for the Steven Spielberg film Always. Miniature radio-controlled planes were used by Industrial Light and Magic to create special effects for aerial firefighting scenes.
