That was a bold claim more than half a century ago, but in subsequent years the cooperation has continued unabated, and the park system's scenic and recreational resources have expanded. This success has been facilitated by an unbroken history of dedicated commissioners and leaders in the two state capitals, an extraordinary tradition that has enabled park administrators to discharge their duties with enthusiasm and commitment. The park has traversed the 20th century, withstood relentless growth at its boundaries, encountered unprecedented demands, adapted to rapid changes, and still managed to maintain the essential integrity of thousands and thousands of acres of open space. Now we proudly look forward to the Second Century in the history of the Palisades Interstate Park system. The park system was born on Christmas Eve, 1900. The quarrying of the cliffs along the Hudson was the proximate cause, the preservation of vast tracts of inland space the final effect. Linking the cause and the effect was the fundamental idea of the public interest. The Palisades Interstate Park was the concrete realization of a commitment to the greater welfare of all citizens. The Palisades Interstate Park Commission is the institution directly charged with preserving the park’s natural, historic and cultural resources. It is the Commission that must predict the unpredictable - the independent variables of the 21st century. top 6/08/00 <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
