Condition History
Branch Brook Park has been expanded and several new structures have been built since its inception in 1895. Originally 60 acres were transferred to the Essex County Park Commission from the City of Newark. Over the years through various acquisitions and donations of land, the park grew to more than double its original size. Structures later added include an entrance gateway, gazebo, greenhouse and administrative building.

Description
An account of the resource
Branch Brook Park opened in 1895 as the nation's first county park for public use under the newly formed Essex County Park Commission. Its layout is based on plans conceived in a report from the firm of Olmsted, Vaux and Company in 1867 (document included here). The park was subsequently designed by Bogart & Barrett in 1895, and refined by Olmsted Brothers in 1898.
