It was founded by Arby Alper in 1967 on 912 acres purchased from the city of Henderson, and opened in 1970 as Sky Harbor Airport.[3][4] Clark County bought the airport in 1996 and renamed it Henderson Executive Airport.[5]

Most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but Henderson Executive Airport is HND to the FAA[1] and HSH to the IATA[6] (which assigned HND to Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Japan[7]). The airport's ICAO identifier is KHND.[6][8]
