In 1783, several hundred members of The
Religious Society of Friends moved from the newly founded
United States of America to Pennfield as a result of
The American Revolution. During the summer of 1940, an airport was constructed to train Air Observes as part of the
British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. An Operational Training Unit was used at the airport to train the four trades of the aircrew for World War II action: Pilot, Navigator, Wireless Air Gunner and Air Gunner. The
Royal Canadian Air Force allowed the Royal Canadian Navy to use their equipment for
High Frequency Direction Finding activities against German submarines in the
Atlantic. In October 2012, Pennfield had a major highway route change when a realignment of
Route 1 opened, creating a continuous freeway from the American Border to the
Trans-Canada Highway at
River Glade. ==Education==
