Glacier National Park, established May 11, 1910, is an American national park in northwestern Montana on the U.S.-Canada border. Encompassing over one million acres, Glacier National Park includes part of two sub-ranges of the Rocky Mountains and is home to hundreds of species of animals. 130 named lakes are within the park's borders. The park also borders Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada which led to the establishment of Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park in 1932. The Peace Park was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.Publication History and Census
