Hispanic Heritage Site

The National Park System is well endowed to commemorate Hispanic contributions to American society. Some 20 national parklands represent America's Hispanic heritage. Some sites remotely display Hispanic contributions to American culture.[1] The National Park System not only preserves the history and contributions of Hispanic Americans, it is also a part of the nation's history. Over the years, the National Park Service has reflected the nation's social history. Among the first Hispanics who influenced the course of the National Parks were:

George Wright, 1929

Biologist

Early Superintendents (not fully inclusive)[2]

Regional Directors[2]

National Park Units
