“Quakertown Park was originally the site for Quakertown, a vibrant middle-class Black neighborhood forcibly removed by the city in 1921. After Quakertown’s residents were forced to move, the park that replaced it was first called City Park, then Civic Center Park after the O’Neil Ford-designed Civic Center was built in the 1960s, then renamed Quakertown Park in 2006.” -Annetta Ramsay For the Denton Record-Chronicle
