This former general airport is one of several which have disappeared in the past few decades from the Albuquerque metropolitan area. The date of construction of Alameda Airport is unknown. The earliest reference to the field which has been located is the 1955 Albuquerque Sectional Chart (according to Chris Kennedy), which described it as having two runways, with the longest being a 3,700' bare strip.

By the time of the 1962 AOPA Airport Directory, both runways at Alameda had been paved, with Runway 18/36 being the longest at 4,250' long. The operator was listed as Rolfe Black.
