San Mateo's Central Park was founded in 1922 when the City issued bonds to purchase the former Kohl estate. To commemorate the centennial, the Arboretum Society hosted a public exhibit presenting the story of Central Park, its founding, evolution and changes planned for the near future.
The Centennial exhibit comprised a series of 24 posters. They may be viewed here. However, there is much more park information than could be presented in the posters. The Central Park History Project was initiated to capture and preserve that additional information. This webpage is a placeholder for the history project. Formatting and presenting that additional information is future work.
