 The airport dates back to 1934, when the city of Nashua bought a small existing airport, which lacked a hangar and had a grass runway.Over the next several years Nashua, with federal help, paved the runway and put up some buildings.According to the history in the airport web site, the hangar was constructed from bricks reused from a Nashua factory that burned in 1930 in what was known here as the Crown Hill Fire.
