02 October 1968 - NORTH CASCADES NATIONAL PARK ESTABLISHED: After years of debate over whether the region should be controlled by the Forest Service or National Park Service, the North Cascades National Park Act is signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson. The park will include the North Cascades Range mountains as well as more than 300 glaciers.

The region was first settled by Paleo-Indian Native Americans; by the time European American explorers arrived, it was inhabited by Skagit tribes. By the early 19th century, the region was visited by fur trappers and several British and American companies vied for control over the fur trade. After the Canada-United States border was set at the 49th parallel in 1846, explorers came to chart potential routes through the mountains for roads and railroads. Limited mining and logging occurred from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. The first significant human impact in the region occurred in the 1920s when several dams were built in the Skagit River valley to generate hydroelectric power. Environmentalists then campaigned to preserve the remaining wilderness, culminating on October 2, 1968, with the designation of North Cascades National Park.
