Operating from 1919 until the mid-1930's, Maynard Field was the first commercial airfield in North Carolina. The airfield was named for Lt. Belvin W. Maynard, a North Carolina native and pioneer aviator. In October 1919, the Winston-Salem Board of Trade leased thirty-five acres of land off Kernersville Road, and commenced preparing the field. On December 6, 1919, the field was dedicated, and Lt. Maynard was the first flyer to land on its runway. Completely modern in contrast to other airfields of its day, Maynard Field featured intersecting runways, hanger space, gasoline, a telephone, a mechanic, and two parking areas for automobiles.
