History
The site of Dodge Park was a location of one of Lewis and Clark's campgrounds on their expedition across the Louisiana Purchase in 1804. Shortly thereafter Manuel Lisa, a Spanish fur trader, established Fort Lisa to the northwest of the park. In the 1820s the American Fur Trading Company started Cabanne's Trading Post to the north.
Dodge Park was donated to the City of Omaha in 1930 by a local real estate family. A portion of the land donated is west of Pershing Drive and was named Hummel Park as a tribute to J. B. Hummel, a superintendent of the Omaha's Parks and Recreation Department.
Present
Dodge Park remained a largely unused wilderness until the late 1960s. Recent improvements include upgrades to the park's roads, marina and a new playground. The Winter Quarters and historic Florence are located nearby.
