Carmel Valley Airport was a privately owned Airpark in Carmel Valley, California from 1941-2002. The airport was later called the Carmel Valley Vintage Airfield. The California Historical Resources Commission voted to nominate the "Carmel Valley Vintage Airpark" as a State Historic Resource. The Commission found that development of the airport was important as it represented the "first airpark in the United States and in the world."
In the 1930s, the property was used for growing oats by bush pilots before the airport development. In 1940, Byington Ford and his brother, Tirey L. Ford Jr., developed the Airport for pilot owners who wanted to be “at home a minute or two after getting out of their planes.” Two hangar houses were built at the airport as well as a prototype hangar-house to serve as an example for the "airborne community of the future."
