The Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park was established in 1932
by Presidential proclamation, as authorized by the Congress of the
United States and the Canadian Parliament.
At the dedication exercises in June of that year, the following message
from the President of the United States was read:
The dedication of the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park
is a further gesture of the good will that has so long blessed
our relations with our Canadian neighbors, and I am gratified by
the hope and the faith that it will forever be an appropriate
symbol of permanent peace and friendship.
In the administration of these areas each component part of the Peace
Park retains its nationality and individuality and functions as it did
before the union.
