William Cullen Bryant was the editor of the New York Evening Post in the nineteenth century and was a staunch campaigner for open space to be set aside in Manhattan for the enjoyment of all New Yorkers; Central Park, you will recall, was the result.
In 1884, New York City's Reservoir Square, at the intersection of 42nd Street and Sixth Avenue, was renamed Bryant Park in his honor.
