Upon arrival of the pioneers in the early 1800's, the falls and forests were valued for their power and utility, not their natural beauty.
William P. Letchworth came to the valley in 1859, and started to restore the land to its original beauty. The State accepted his gift of 1000 acres in 1907, and upon his death in 1910, Letchworth State Park was born.
