Sequoia National Park was founded on this day in history, Sept. 25, 1890, as a national park in the United States.<\/p>\n

The park was created through legislation signed by President Benjamin Harrison, as the National Park Service (NPS) indicates.<\/p>\n

Sequoia National Park was explicitly created to protect a living organism<\/a>: Sequoiadendron giganteum, <\/i>or the “giant sequoia” tree.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just a week after Sequoia National Park was created, it was expanded \u2014 once again, through legislation signed by President Harrison.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For the first 23 years of Sequoia National Park’s existence, prior to the creation of the National Park Service<\/a> (NPS) in 1916, the area was guarded by the U.S. Army Calvary troops and administered by the military, says the NPS website.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 1914, the first civilian administrator of the park, Walter Fry, was appointed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Initially, it was extremely difficult to access Sequoia National Park, with “little more than a pack road” serving as an entryway, said the NPS.<\/p>\n

“Under the leadership of then-Captain Charles Young, the only Black commissioned officer in the U.S. Army<\/a> at that time, a road to the Giant Forest was completed in August 1903,” they said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This meant that, for the first time, wagons could reach the park.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the arrival of wagons, automobiles were not far behind, notes the National Park Service.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The growing popularity of automobile travel led to the building of the Generals Highway in 1926 opening up the Giant Forest to increased visitation,” they said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With an ever-increasing number of visitors, the National Park Service began work on amenities for those who would be making the trek out to California<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“One of the first projects undertaken by the New National Park Service in 1917 was the construction of the first steps to the summit of Moro Rock, a favorite destination,” said the National Park Service.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Those first wooden steps to the top of Moro Rock must have provided a thrill for many early park visitors,” NPS added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In March 1940, Kings Canyon National Park, which is adjacent to Sequoia National Park, was established.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Formerly, the area was known as “General Grant National Park.”<\/p>\n

Since World War II<\/a>, Kings Canyon National Park and Sequoia National Park are jointly administered, says the National Park Service.\u00a0<\/p>\n

True to the original mission of Sequoia National Park, the two parks today contain about a third of all naturally growing sequoia trees.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As of 2022, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks receive about 1.5 million visitors each year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
