The airport opened in May 1947 as the Little Falls Municipal Airport. In 1964, the city and Morrison County signed a joint powers agreement and changed its name to the Little Falls/Morrison County Airport. A newer terminal building was erected in 1996.[2]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Little Falls/Morrison County Airport is assigned LXL by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.[3]

On July 9, 2019 A FAA Airport Improvement Program grant of $371,724 was announced to construct a taxiway.[4] On November 22, 2019, the Federal Aviation Administration announced it had awarded an Airport Improvement Program grant of $2.1 million to the Little Falls/Morrison County Airport-Lindbergh Field to construct a new runway.[2][5]

gollark: Interesting, that is at least something.
gollark: Also, it's ridiculously verbose and you don't get stack traces.
gollark: It's meant to encode the idea of the thing *or* an error being returned, but it doesn't; there's nothing in the type preventing you from just returning two things, or zero things.
gollark: (also, like many Go things it is not well integrated with anything else; the multiple returns aren't first class like python tuples, you can't unpack them into function calls, etc)
gollark: I like the basic concept, you can do fun stuff with it, but using them for error handling like that is not great.
