Why Death Valley became a national park?
In 1881 borax was discovered in Death Valley. It was used as a laundry additive and for a whole host of other uses by druggists and for keeping ants and roaches out of the home as well as helping welders get a 'clean' weld as a flux. From 1882 to 1925 the company came to be known as Pacific Coast Borax mined in Death Valley. When they discovered richer deposits at the place now called Boron in the Mojave desert they moved their mining operations. But in Death Valley they turned to tourism. They converted miner's bunks to tourist quarters and began to promote tourism. At the time they had a railroad running out to the Death Valley country so they built a luxury hotel called the Furnace Creek Inn (1927). They approached the US Department of Interior to make the Valley a National Park but the head of the Park Service, Stephen Mather, had formerly worked for Pacific Coast Borax and thought it would be a conflict of interest. But in 1933 Horace Albright, the next director of the National Park Service and a California native, convinced President Herbert Hoover to declare it a National Monument. Then in 1994 President Bill Clinton signed into law the California Desert Protection Act making Death Valley a National Park.
