It was established and built by Kathleen and Claudio Valentini in 1989 on a property previously owned by Edmund and Florence Weber who farmed the property for 75 years. It is privately owned and prior permission is required to land there. Tomvale is also the home of Tomvale Software which produces Tomvale Ground School software, preparing pilot candidates for the Transport Canada and Federal Aviation Administration exams, as well as unrelated software. The name "Tomvale" is a portmanteau combining the names of the family.
Tomvale also has a possible impact crater at the end of runway 05. It is also adjacent to the North Frontenac Dark Skies Observatory, and the North Frontenac Heliport which is situated on land originally severed from the larger Tomvale property.
