Theodore Roosevelt signed the Antiquities Act into law. His first use of it was to declare Devil's Tower a National Monument. (The National Park Service was established in 1916, several years after TR's presidency.)
The Antiquities Act of 1906 permits the president to designate land as a national park, designate historical monuments, ect.
