[edit] Pre-park history

I feel it is important on this page to write a little about the history of the land before it became a park. I'm sorry I couldn't write this myself because I don't have enough information but I did place the titles for someone else later to fill it in.

First it should be included that it was the second location of the Newcastle mines and the town of Newcastle was moved with the mine to the location red town trail.

Second it is also import to talk about the Nike Missile base located in the northeastern side of the park.

I'm sorry I don't know enough to fill in these important details.

The page should be amended correct the incorrect statement that it is "the largest urban wildland in the United States." Portland's Forest Park at over 5100 acres holds that title.
