Administrative History

The records in this series were created and maintained by the Long Island State Park Commission (LISPC), Jones Beach State Parkway Authority (JBSPA), and Bethpage Park Authority (BPA). Since the LISPC, JBSPA, and BPA shared headquarters and their functions were intricately intertwined, records created by these entities were retained collectively. The bulk of the records date from the decades when the commission and authorities were under the direction of Robert Moses.
