C&O Canal NHP issued its first administrative history in 1991, written by Barry Mackintosh of the National Park Service (NPS) History Division. The 1991 history provided in-depth accounts of the initial development and operation of the canal, the beginning of NPS management of the park, and the following years of planning, expanding, and developing the unique national park. The purpose of this administrative history update is to capture the park’s recent history, discuss the overall vision of the park’s leadership, expand on natural and cultural resource management programs and initiatives, address the impact of major floods in 1996 and 2004, incorporate new studies, highlight major developments, and focus on the last 30 years of park administration.
