The airport was founded in 1927 as Richard Evelyn Byrd Flying Field in honour of the pilot Richard E. Byrd, brother of the Governor of Virginia Harry F. Byrd. Although the airport is in Henrico County, the mayor of Richmond, John Fulmer Bright, had a large role to play in the construction of Byrd Field, which originally belonged to Richmond.
