The first National Park, Yellowstone, was signed into law by Ulysses S. Grant in 1872, followed by Sequoia and Yosemite, in 1890. The United States has 59 protected areas known as National Parks that are operated by the National Park Service. National Parks must be established by an act of the United States Congress but many current National Parks had been previously protected as National Monuments under the Antiquities Act before being upgraded by Congress. As Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "There is nothing so American as our National Parks. The fundamental idea behind the parks is that the country belongs to the people, that it is in process of making for the enrichment of the lives of all of us."
