findings regarding the history of Annadel State Park and the
significant contributions of the late Henry Trione.
FISCAL EFFECT:
Increased DPR staff costs of approximately $40,000 to hold a
Commission meeting to consider the name change.
The resolution specifies that nonstate donations or other
private funding will cover sign installation and other costs
resulting from the name change.
COMMENTS:
This bill expresses the Legislature's request that the State
Park and Recreation Commission rename Annadel State Park as
Trione Annadel State Park to recognize Henry Trione and his
contributions to state parks, while retaining Annadel in the
park's historic name.
Mr. Trione was a founding member of the Annadel Park Foundation
and it's first President, and is credited with leading the
community effort that resulted in creation of the park in 1971.
Annadel State Park is named for Susana "Annie" Hutchinson, whose
family owned the area in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The name, a contraction of "Annie's Dell," was in use by the
1880s, when it was given to a railway station on their property.
