Tilles Memorial City Park, originally known as George Tilles, Jr. Park, is the oldest municipal park in Oran, Missouri.〔The Missourian. (''"$10,000 Gift, Voter Approval Bring City Park"'' ). The Southeast Missourian, Cape Girardeau, April 2, 1962. Retrieved on 8 January 2014.〕 == History ==
The park was founded in 1962 by Frank Pellegrino, CEO of the International Hat Company in St. Louis, Missouri.〔〔(''"Dedicate New Bollinger Park"'' ). The Southeast Missourian, Cape Girardeau, June 5, 1972. Retrieved on 8 January 2014.〕 The park was dedicated by Pellegrino as a memorial to George Tilles, Jr., Pellegrino's, friend, business partner, and former CEO of International Hat. George Tilles was also the nephew of horse racing magnate Cap Tilles. Throughout the 1950s to the mid-1980s, the company's hat factory was the largest employer in Oran and one of the largest employers in Southeastern Missouri. The Oran factory was also the first International Hat plant built outside of St. Louis. These factors led to Pellegrino's choice of Oran, as a way of giving back to the employees of an International Hat town. As a condition for founding the park, Pellegrino petitioned the city that future funding of the new recreational facilities and park upkeep be managed through municipal taxation. The measure was placed on the voting ballot and passed with 93 percent of voters approving.〔
