The stone, prevalent in the region, may have the St. Andrew's or Roman shape. The park's land was donated in 1933 by , former president of the Southwest Virginia Trust Co. and former owner of the Roanoke Times. The park is 4,741 acres (19.19 km2), making it the largest of the six original parks and one of the largest to this day. Some of the park's features, including its lake and many structures still in use, were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. (en)
