HISTORY

Westminster airport began on a small farm field in a community along an old American Indian trail. The town was never in the direct path of commerce or early settlement, but it provided an abundance of needed local commodities; farm produce, livestock from hundreds-of-acres crops, for a growing Baltimore metropolitan area. Eventually the airport was the center of its own growing community - Carroll County is now a major supplier of local and regional produce.

A small airfield in a farmer's pastures soon it was dedicated by the Mayor of Westminster as a viable link to a growing nation, but little did anyone believe World conflict would push its development in a completely different directions. It was the onset of a World War when it first served the military to transport troops and later to forward supplies across both the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean.

Decades later in a time of peace, local and state transportation authorities recognized the airport as a vital link for commerce in the region. To honor those involved in the revitalization, the airport was renamed Carroll County Regional Airport, and then later dedicated to Jack B. Poage - aviator and FBO owner.

Air travel changed dramatically since 2001, improving slightly by 2003. The airport executives matched this upward trend with some forward-looking planning and county improvements to the regional airport. Both population and economic development, with an emphasis on fast and reliable modals of transportation, require an airport capable of supporting a diverse customer base. Now serving as a major connecting hub for numerous eastern destinations, its role increases each year as passengers, pilots and cargo carriers pass though the National Capital and Baltimore Regional areas.
