In 1942, the U.S. government built a 2,800-acre airfield near Newport (Jackson County) at a cost of approximately $12 million. During World War II, the Newport Army Air Field was used by the U.S. Army Air Forces, the U.S. Marines, and the U.S. Navy. The land was deeded to the City of Newport after the war, with portions of it being developed into an industrial park.
