The city of Watertown bought the land in 1928 and the Airport was opened in 1929.[7]
Facilities
The airport covers 1,060 acres (430ha) at an elevation of 330 feet (100m).
Runway 10/28 was extended from 5,000ft (1,500m) length to 5,999ft (1,828m) as an interim extension and was lengthened again to 7,001ft (2.134km) opening to that length in July 2016.

Airport development
Watertown International Airport's first scheduled jet service is operated by American Eagle Airlines, which flies 44 passenger Embraer ERJ 140 regional jets. Service was initially planned to begin in June 2011, however an environmental impact assessment had to first be completed to ensure that neither residents of nearby Dexter nor wildlife would be adversely impacted by the new service. Additionally, renovation work of baggage systems and passenger waiting areas was necessary to accommodate the new service, which cost nearly one million dollars.[8] Service began November 17, 2011.[9]

Order 2014-4-25 (April 22, 2014): approving the request of American Airlines Group, Inc. to change its service pattern at Watertown, New York, from Chicago O'Hare International Airport to Philadelphia International Airport effective May 8, 2014.
