History
In 1943, Henry D. Perry, a dairy farmer, sold 640 acres (259 ha) of land to the United States Navy for aviation training between Hollywood Boulevard and Pembroke Road. It became known as North Perry Field , and serves as an additional training facility for a major naval air station known as NAS Miami. There is also South Perry Field , located southeast of North Perry (Florida Turnpike runs through this area today). South Perry is a grassland (no facilities/structure) only meant for the overflowing North Perry.
Perry North remained inactive after the war, until 1950 when it was acquired by Broward County to become a civil airport. It was later upgraded for use by small aircraft, as a station for air balloon advertisements, and for the US Coast Guard helicopter practicing search and rescue skills. The facility suffered minor damage during Hurricane Wilma in 2005.
In 2007, North Perry Airport was referred to as the "General Aviation Airport of the Year" by the Florida Department of Transportation.
