Orville and Wilbur Wright may have flown the very first aircraft in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, but their vision was born in Gem City. Both brothers are Dayton natives, and they did most of their research, design, and building here inside of their bicycle shop.

But Dayton’s aviation history doesn’t end there. Dayton is home to the world’s first aircraft factory — The Wright Company Factory — founded in 1909. Today the building still stands as the oldest aircraft factory in the world.

Right outside of Dayton you’ll also find Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the largest military base operated by the Air Force on United States soil. It’s home to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, the oldest and largest military aviation museum in the world with over 360 aircraft on display.

Congress formally recognized Dayton’s status as the birthplace of aviation in 2003.
