History

After being in private ownership since the end of the 17th century, the land at Westmoor Park was donated to the town of West Hartford in March 1973. Charles Hunter officially gave the land to the town upon his death in January 1961, with the proviso that it belong to his wife, Leila, for the remainder of her life. She died in January 1973 and the town took over the land two months later.[1]
