A grass runway was built in 1930, and the airport opened in April 1940. Scheduled passenger service began in 1949. The asphalt runway went in during 1978 and the current terminal building opened in 2010. The runway was closed for about six weeks in 2020 for reconstruction. A TSA checkpoint in the terminal added Advanced Imaging Technology screening in June 2023.

Denver Air Connection provides the scheduled service under the federal Essential Air Service program, with flights to Chicago O'Hare and Minneapolis/St. Paul.
