National Parks By State

ADVERTISEMENTS

The first national park, Yellowstone, was established in 1872 by President Grant. On August 25, 1916, recognizing the importance of national parks, President Wilson signed an act to create the National Park Service, responsible for managing the national parks and monuments. Today, there are 63 national parks in the United States.
