Originally built to satisfy the business transportation needs of Ken Biddle, founder of Biddle Precision Components, a precision machine shop and Sheridan's largest employer, the airport soon grew to support the needs of Northwest Hamilton County.

The current airport office building started as the base for Biddle's personal aircraft, a new but modest two-place Alon Ercoupe.

By the late 1960s, Sheridan Airport was housing a Cessna 421 cabin class twin in a newly constructed hangar capable of accommodating larger business aircraft.

It was built to complement the two existing grass runways at Sheridan Airport and provide all-weather access.

During the early 1970s, an additional 14-unit T-hangar was constructed to house the growing mix of business and recreational aircraft seeking to locate at Sheridan.
