Talk:Pinson Bicentennial Park

Dry Creek

Google maps calls the creek "Beaver Creek". Usually there's not much documentation on smaller creeks, but maybe someone has the scoop. --Dystopos 07:01, 4 January 2014 (PST)

Do you know what year the park was renamed to "Pinson Bicentennial Park"? Was it to celebrate the Pinson bicentennial or for some other reason? There's a new Bicentennial disambiguation page that I created last year that you could add this to if you think it's appropriate. Robert Matthews (talk) 09:27, 10 December 2020 (PST)
- Per a 2016 Birmingham News article, it was named for the 200th anniversary of the founding of Pinson. Technically it was never officially named "Pinson Park", it was just a stub when they announced the new unnamed park in 2014. I'll update our article with info from what I just found. I did a search of Trussville Tribune articles and didn't see one this morning that explained the name. --Wheresdib (talk) 10:15, 10 December 2020 (PST)
- Article is updated. Here's what I found, it's not much. I haven't been able to link "1815" to Pinson's founding but I'll keep looking. --Wheresdib (talk) 10:23, 10 December 2020 (PST)
  - Thanks for the updates and the link to the article. Robert Matthews (talk) 10:55, 10 December 2020 (PST)
    - This historic marker states that Pinson was settled by General Jackson's soldiers after the War of 1812, which was 1815, so that's as close as I'm going to get today. I.e., That's good enough for me. --Wheresdib (talk) 11:57, 10 December 2020 (PST)
