The park was once the site of William S. King’s “Lyndale Farm.” It was, literally, the Lyndale farmstead. The name was never formally adopted. King derived the name of his farm from his father’s first name, Lyndon. King’s one-time farmhouse, the last vestige of the farm, still stood in 1920 on the last parcel of land acquired for the park at 39th and Bryant. It was once the headquarters of a 1,400-acre farm that encompassed almost all of Lake Harriet. (See Lake Harriet, Lyndale Park, and King’s Highway for more on William King and his donations to the park board.)
