Add to SetSummary
In 1853, the city of New York acquired more than 700 acres in Manhattan and set out to create the country's first landscaped public park. What were once residential neighborhoods built on rocky, swampy ground became popular carriage driveways, equestrian and walking paths, and reservoirs for boating.
