Once part of a 24-acre estate purchased in 1864 by William Bradley Isham, the 20.097 acres of parkland was a culmination of donations by the Isham family and purchases of land by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation between 1925 and 1927. Within the park there is a Gekko tree that dates to the 1860s, when the property was initially purchased by Isham. On 212th Street, at the Broadway entrance of the park, is a mile marker that was used during the colonial and Federalist period to designate the distance of 13 miles from lower Manhattan.
