Carleton Airport has been in operation since 1942, when Carleton College bought a farm to use as an airport to train pilots for World War II. In 1944, the college leased the field to Triangle Aviation, operated by Malcolm and Margaret Manuel, which eventually bought the airport in 1955. In 1990, Stanton Sport Aviation was formed to purchase the airport. The airport was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[3]
