The state acquired land for the park from the city of Bastrop and private owners in 1933 to 1935; the park opened in 1937. The park has continued to add acreage over the years, and now contains 6,600 acres.
Bastrop State Park earned National Historic Landmark status in 1997. This was due largely to the enduring craftsmanship and landscape work of the CCC. Only seven CCC parks in the nation have this recognition
