History

In 1919, John Cutler Jr. donated a heavily wooded 70-acre (280,000 m2) parcel to the County of Tulare for a park. Located adjacent to the St. Johns River on Houston Avenue, the park was named in honor of the donor's father, John cutler, an 1852 pioneer of Tulare County. The senior Cutler was a big farmer and one of Tulare County's first judges.[2]
