History
The park property was acquired in 1919 and the people in that area at the time desired the park be called Theodore Roosevelt Park. A movement was then started to secure funds from which to erect within the park a memorial to Mr. Roosevelt who was our 26th President and has been ranked by scholars as one of the greatest US Presidents.
