The History of Highland Park
THE HISTORY OF HIGHLAND PARK City of Kokomo Parks & Recreation Department 1402 W. Deffenbaugh St. Kokomo, IN 46902 Phone: (765) 456-7275 Fax: (765) 456-7277 www.cityofkokomo.org Highland Park History: Introduction INTRODUCTION Since its establishment in 1892, Highland Park has made its mark upon the City of Kokomo and its residents. Being that the park spans over 80 acres in the middle of the city and has been the location of many events, it’s become a longstanding fixture that is hard to forget about. Due to the park’s ever present status in the lives of Kokomo citizens, many don’t realize the range of history this piece of land holds. Throughout it’s years of service to the public, the grounds of Highland Park have changed and grown as the generations flew by. Many corners of this pub- lic park hold tales and artifacts of the history that had once taken place here. Some of the structures and figures of the past are no longer present, but their stories and influence still hold true and helped create Highland Park into what we see today. While its name and look may have changed as time ticked by, the love that Kokomo has held for Highland has never wavered. 1 Highland Park History: Timeline ESTABLISHMENT AND CITY PARK Back in the early days of the City of Kokomo, the notion of including a city park was first suggested sometime in the 1870’s. A prime location at the time for a park to be constructed was a plot of land that once held Camp Stilwell during the Civil War.

Legacy: a Magazine for Alumni and Friends of Indiana University Kokomo
LEGACYA MAGAZINE FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF INDIANA UNIVERSITY KOKOMO better TOGETHER IU Kokomo partners with communities for a stronger, more vital region. WINTER 2019 from your Chancellor WORDS “We’re doing BIG, BOLD THINGS on campus every day and it’s a wonderful time for you to get involved in your own way.” This academic year, we are celebrating a big milestone at Indiana University Kokomo: 75 years as the choice for higher education in our region. As I look back on where it all began in 1945, I think of all the determined, dynamic, and unique students who have walked through our doors – whether at the Seiberling Mansion or our campus on Washington Street – and then gone out to change their corner of the world. Including you! For decades, we’ve seen our alumni become our teachers, doctors, nurses, artists, writers, businesspeople, leaders, lawyers, and legacy leavers. And we don’t take that lightly. We’ve been celebrating our 75th Anniversary and all that those years mean to us, our alumni, and our community. A huge part of the success of IU Kokomo is the important partnerships we’ve developed since the very start. From healthcare to economic development to K-12 initiatives, we have relationships with people with the ability to create change across our region. Donors partner with us and trust our vision for all this institution can be. And, you, our alumni, partner with us to voice your thoughts, attend events, and stay connected with your alma mater. All of these relationships contribute to the success of this campus and to the communities we serve.
