Grand Canyon National Park was officially established by the U.S. Congress in 1919. Parts of the canyon had previously been protected as the Grand Canyon Forest Reserve in 1893, a game preserve in 1903, and a national monument in 1908. The park was greatly enlarged in 1975 and designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979.
