Lenape people lived here through the 17th century, artifacts have been found in the park's rock shelters, and a boulder and plaque placed in 1954 mark the former site of a tulip tree where, by legend, Peter Minuit bought Manhattan in 1626. The city began buying the land in the 1910s, and WPA workers built or paved many of its roads in the 1930s.
