History

RFD traces its history back to 1917, when Camp Grant - a U.S. Army Cavalry Camp was established during the First World War. During the events of the second World War, Camp Grant was made into a military training base and prisoner of war confinement center.

Following the war, the state of Illinois adopted the Airport Authority Act. The Greater Rockford Airport Authority was created in 1946.

Owing to Rockford being about 90 miles from Chicago, the airport's name was changed to Chicago/Rockford International Airport. The airport is marketed to residents of Rockford and surrounding areas as an alternative to Midway Airport and O'Hare International Airport, as well as limited service airports such as the one at Dubuque, Iowa. The airlines at RFD also often use their low fares and free airport parking as a selling point as well.
