History
Morey Field was named after founder Howard Morey who started the Middleton airport in 1942. Management of the airport changed hands to Field Morey, the son of Howard and then to Richard Morey, the son of Field. The airport was sold to the city of Middleton in 1998, and its name was changed from Morey Field to Middleton Municipal Airport – Morey Field. Although the airport was sold to the city, Richard Morey still manages the FBO which provides services to airport users.

In July 2005 the city of Middleton completed a $7 million renovation of the airport including land acquisition and construction. The renovation consisted of a new terminal building and a new 4,001 ft long by 100 ft wide asphalt runway (10/28), as well as a 1,780 ft long by 120 ft wide crosswind turf runway (1/19).

Morey Airplane Co. is the airport's fixed-base operator.
