This historical survey of Farragut Square has been completed pursuant to Research Study Proposal, Central National Capital Parks, H-3 (RSP-CNCP-H-3). It is designed to provide the staffs of the National Capital Region and Central National Capital Parks with as complete a documented report as is possible at the present time based on the financial limitations of the RSP and the availability of official documentary sources. The study covers the legal origins and administrative history of Farragut Square, the developmental stages in its landscaping, and its value to the community. It is specifically designed to illustrate the historical significance and value of this park site as an aid in preserving its natural beauty from the in-roads of non-park projects. It is designed to serve as the authoritative reference work on the subject.
