History

Ann Arbor's city parks sit on the ancestral and traditional homelands of several indigenous Native peoples. Read a land acknowledgement from the city and learn more about the early history of the land here.

Tuebingen Park is named after the city of Tübingen, Germany, which is one of Ann Arbor's sister cities. The sister city program originated from President Eisenhower's People to People program, an effort to foster cultural exchange between the US and foreign states that were once enemies. Ann Arbor now has seven sister cities, the first established being Tübingen in 1965. The cities of Ann Arbor and Tübingen have a long history of exchanging visits and delegations over the years– most recently in 2015, when Ann Arbor sent a delegation to visit. The cities have drawn comparisons, being college towns near larger industrial centers.
