George Bucknam Dorr (1853-1944) is known as the father of Acadia National Park. He spent most of his adult life creating, maintaining and expanding the park and was the first park administrator from 1914-1944. When Acadia was declared a national monument by President Wilson in 1916, its centerpiece was Sieur de Monts Spring and Dorr Mountain, then called Dry Mountain.
After his death in 1944, the mountain was renamed in his honor.
