| Death Valley's outstanding natural beauty and scientific importance were first brought to the attention of the National Park Service in the late 20's. With the support of Stephen T. Mather, Director of the National Park Service, Death Valley's national significance was recognized, and it was proclaimed a national monument by President Hoover on February 11, 1933. Today Death Valley National Park, California, is made up of 3,336,000 acres and contains more than 3,000,000 acres of wilderness. |
