RG Letourneau in the early fifties built a couple of runways with equipment manufactured at his plant to accommodate aircraft used in his business. Westinghouse Corporation later bought the company. In the late sixties, Carl Cramblett, the manager for Wabco, was instrumental in arranging for airport property to be given to the City of Toccoa and Stephens County. In January 1961, the Georgia State Legislature passed a law which established the Toccoa Stephens County Airport Authority.
The Airport Authority is charged with the responsibility to own and operate the Airport to the benefit of the community and surrounding areas.
