The City of Denton is embarking on a project to memorialize Quakertown - a largely African American community that existed and thrived for almost five decades in the late 19th and early 20th century before being displaced to make room for Quakertown Park.
Parks and Recreation will conduct a series of public engagement meetings to seek feedback on options for temporary memorialization during this centennial moment honoring Quakertown (removal occurred between 1921 and 1923).
The Denton Parks and Recreation Department, in conjunction with multiple City departments and community members with relevant insight and expertise, are joining to honor the community of Quakertown including its history, legacy, residents, and their descendants. Staff are planning several engagement opportunities to receive feedback and input from the public to determine the final content design for temporary signage honoring the 100th anniversary of Quakertown.
City staff are eager to receive and respond to your ideas and questions about the Quakertown Memorial Project. If you're a registered user you can use the "Questions" and "Ideas" tabs to provide your input. You can register by clicking the "register" link at the top right corner of the web page.
