On June 5, 1865, Alderman Lawson presented to the Common Council and had at once passed the following resolution: Whereas, there appears by the records of the city that there are now two public parks designated by the name Lake Park; Therefore, be it resolved that the park recently set apart from the unoccupied portion of the old cemetery grounds shall hereafter be known and designated as Lincoln Park.
