History
The airport was opened in 1936 as Reay Airport and renamed to the current name in 1938.
Plaque describing Norwegian training at Muskoka
From 1942 to end of World War II, it served as a training facility for the Royal Norwegian Air Force. Known as «Little Norway», it replaced the Toronto Island Airport as their main training base in Canada. The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) used this as an auxiliary airfield to CFB Borden during World War II.
Military use ended and the airport transferred to Department of Transport (DOT). The airport has been owned by the District Municipality of Muskoka since 1996.
