The park was established as Connecticut's 48th state park in 1945. This designation represented an important step in expanding the state's system of protected natural areas.

The park connects to Naugatuck State Forest, forming part of Connecticut's network of natural spaces dedicated to outdoor recreation and environmental preservation.
