A temporary Illinois Park Commission (1909-1911) studied the establishment of both Starved Rock State Park and a state park system. The permanent Illinois Park Commission (1911-1917), was comprised of three gubernatorial appointees charged with state park administration and system expansion planning. When the commission was abolished (1917), its duties were passed to the Dept. of Public Works and Buildings, which remained in charge of the state park system until the Dept. of Conservation assumed this responsibility (1951).
