==History==
The city of Detroit began building its water system as early as 1836, with the construction of a waterworks at the foot of Orleans.〔(Chauncey Hurlbut Memorial Gate ) from Detroit1701.org〕 The prosperity of the city in the time after the Civil War allowed Detroit to develop a municipal water system, using water from the Detroit River.〔 In 1868, the city began developing Waterworks Park, on Jefferson Avenue near at the foot of Cadillac Boulevard. The main function of the site was to provide water to the municipal system, but it was also intended to use the grounds to be used as a public park.〔 By 1879, the pumping station was completed,〔 and by 1900, the park had become the second most-used park in the city.〔〔〔Michael Daisy and Richard Hughes.(Detroit Water and Sewage Department, The First 300 Years ). Retrieved on March 28, 2009.〕 Early French settlers planted twelve missionary pear trees "named for the twelve Apostles" on the grounds of what is now Waterworks Park.〔Marzejka, Laurie J. (June 14, 2000).(Detroit's Water Works Park a gateway to the past ). ''The Detroit News''. Retrieved on February 17, 2010.〕 Waterworks Park was named Gladwin Park in 1910 in honor of Major Henry Gladwin during Siege of Fort Detroit from Pontiac's Rebellion; however, the park is still more widely known as Waterworks Park.
