The Palisades Interstate Park Commission was organized in 1900. Mr. J. P. Morgan, the honorary president of the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society, gave $122,500; the state of New Jersey, $55,000; and New York appropriated $410,000. With these resources the Palisades Commission has acquired most of the palisades fronting on the Hudson, from Fort Lee, N. J., to Piermont, N. Y.
