"On July 25, 1911, John E. Reyburn, then mayor of Philadelphia, signed a new ordinance into law. A brief document, it simply designated ""the plot of ground bounded by Baltimore avenue, Catharine and Fiftieth streets as 'Cedar Park.'"" Though no official reasoning is given for the name selected we can surmise that the name was at least, in part, a tribute to the efforts of the persistent neighbors who made up the Cedar Avenue Improvement Association."
