History


In April 1929 Essex Airport Corporation was formed by Walter Marvin and six other individuals. The intention of the company was to open an airport to serve Montclair, New Jersey, a town seven miles (11 km) away. The tract of land that Essex Airport Corporation intended for the airport was the Fairfield Dairy Company land that had also been used during World War I as a temporary airfield for the Naval Rifle Range which had been located along the Passaic River in Pine Brook. Some of the early references to the airport have the designation "Marvin Airport", named after Walter Marvin.[5]

In 1999, the airport gained national attention when John F. Kennedy Jr., who based his private aircraft there, crashed hours after departing the airport en route for Martha's Vineyard.[5]
