The airport was formerly a military field, established in 1940 as RCAF Station Summerside, changing its name to CFB Summerside in 1968. The base was active in training aircrews in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan during World War II and hosting search and rescue (SAR) and coastal surveillance units during the Cold War. It was closed in 1990 and transferred to a local development authority named Slemon Park Corporation.
