History of Acadia National Park


History of Acadia National Park

Originally designated as Sieur de Monts National Monument in 1916 by presidential proclamation, Congress renamed the park Lafayette National Park in 1919. Congress again enacted a name change in 1929 to the name we now use, Acadia National Park. It was the first NP established east of the Mississippi River. In October 1947 Acadia, along with some adjacent lands, was ravaged by fire.
