National Park History
The
history of our National Park system and other federal lands began in
1790 when the District of Columbia was formed. This included
what now is part of our park system; the White House, the National
Mall, and the National Capital Parks. But it was not until
Yellowstone was installed as a National Park on March 1, 1872 that you
could truly say that the National Park System was founded.
And it was a great founding. The National Park
Timeline here will be organized by current park unit, in alphabetical
order, and include the dates of formation, and any other changes that
may have occurred.
