On August 4, 1915, president Woodrow Wilson created Dinosaur National Monument. In his proclamation, he declared that the monument held “extraordinary… Dinosaurian and reptilian remains.” When the National Park Service was created in the summer of 1916, Dinosaur National Monument was placed under its care.
