The impetus to protect the land began in 1870 and by 1885, legislation had been passed to protect the land. The park was established in 1892. The park was given state constitutional protection in 1894, so that the state-owned lands within its bounds would be protected forever (''forever wild''). The part of the Adirondack State Park under government control is referred to as the ''Adirondack Forest Preserve'', which became a National Historic Landmark in 1963.
