Standish-Hickey began as a 40-acre campground acquired by theSave-the-Redwoods League in 1922. It was named to honor Edward RitterHickey local lumberman who died of influenza while caring for the victimsof the epidemic of 1918. In the late 1950A?s, the Standish family donatedover five hundred acres, and additional acquisitions through the yearshave brough the parkA?s total acreage to 1,012.
