From 1940 to 1945 it was known as RCAF Detachment Edenvale (No. 1 Relief Landing Field) as an emergency relief field supporting Camp Borden and used by the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan's No. 1 Service Flying Training School. After 1946 the RCAF buildings at Edenvale were demolished and the site abandoned.
In 1950 the airport became a civilian aerodrome, but for almost a decade it was mostly used as race car events. and referred to as Stayner or Edenvale Raceway. It was abandoned again in 1959.
The Canadian Army took over the site in 1962 and referred to as Edenvale Transmitter Station Bunker, a remote radio communications station to support the Cold War effort (see Emergency Government Headquarters). The military close the station in 1988 and left by 1994. The site's bunker, a twin of the Diefenbunker in Ottawa was sealed off in 2005.
Since 2002, the airfield has operated as a private civilian aerodrome.
