[edit] History

The airport was first opened in 1929 as a single runway airport. A second runway was added in the 1950s. On May 25, 1955, it was renamed to its current name, as both the city of Modesto and Stanislaus County became partners in the running of the airport.

The name Harry Sham field was added in 1974 in honour of a former airport manager, who had served between 1949 and 1968.
