Sculptor Gutzon Borglum designed and supervised the construction the Mount Rushmore National Memorial, building it as a monument to those considered to be the most important US leaders.
The mountain carving was begun in 1948 by a Polish American sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski, who had worked on Mount Rushmore under Gutzon Borglum in 1924.

South Dakota State Historian Doane Robinson had the idea for sculptures in the Black Hills to commemorate heroes of the Old West. He invited Gutzon Borglum to visit South Dakota and look into building such a sculpture. Gutzon Borglum suggested that a memorial with a national character would appeal better to the American people and suggested the four presidents. Gutzon Borglum began work on Mount Rushmore in 1927, with the help of hundreds of workers. Gutzon's son, Lincoln, also supervised the work on Mount Rushmore and finished the monument after his father died in 1941.

Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor, picked them. Presumably they were the presidents that he felt were most worthy of the honor.
