An airport for Manassas was proposed in 1930, when the mayor was Harry P. Davis. It was built in 1931 on 94 acres (0.38 km2) along Virginia Route 234, in the area now known as Manaport Shopping Center. Originally owned privately, the Town of Manassas bought the airport in 1945. Due to airport activity and nearby housing development, the airport moved to its current location in 1964. The new airport opened with a single 3,700-by-100-foot (1,128 m × 30 m) paved runway. In 1992, the city purchased a control tower from Centennial Airport near Denver and reassembled it at Manassas Regional Airport. A new terminal was built in 1996.

The airport covers 888 acres (359 ha) at an elevation of 192 feet (59 m). It has two asphalt runways: 16L/34R is 6,200 x 100 feet (1,737 x 30 m) and 16R/34L is 3,715 x 75 feet (1,132 x 29 m).

In the year ending December 2011 the airport had 85,000 aircraft operations, average 236 per day: 98% general aviation, 1% air taxi and 1% military. 401 aircraft were then based at this airport: 78% single-engine, 10% multi-engine, 7% jet and 5% helicopter.
