The airport was previously named Simmons-Nott Airport and New Bern Regional Airport. Simmons-Nott came from a North Carolina Senator F.M. Simmons who was present at the 1931 dedication of the new terminal. During an air performance for the dedication, USMC Lt. Joel Nott of the armed forces was killed. Senator Simmons required that Lt. Nott's named be added to the airport to pay homage for the fallen military officer.
