History

The Parkersburg-Wood County Airport was dedicated on 8 September 1946. Construction of the first part of a three part administration building began in November 1950. By late August 1951, the airport had three 4,400-foot (1,300 m) runways.

The first airline flights were American DC-3s in 1946. The airline All American arrived in 1949 and Piedmont in 1955; Lake Central replaced American in 1961. The first jets were operated by Allegheny at the end of 1976; Piedmont pulled out in 1979 and Allegheny Commuter replaced Allegheny in 1980.

The subtitle Gill Robb Wilson Field was added to the airport's name at a rededication on 2 June 1965.

The airport received a federal grant to expand the runways, add a ramp for general aviation aircraft and perform various other improvements in February 1974. The airport received a federal grant to build a terminal in June 1975.

It was renamed the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport on 1 July 2003.

A proposal to lease a vacant former West Virginia Air National Guard hangar for conversion into a flight school was made in 2017.

An expansion of the West Virginia National Guard facility at the airport was approved by early March 2023. Hangar 4 was renovated in 2024. The airport disapproved of the Department of Transportation's 2025 decision to have Air Wisconsin serve it.
