	Historic Fair Park - Park History
		Fair Park was "born" in 1886 when eighty acres of "hog-wallow prairie" on the outskirts of East Dallas were chosen as the site of the "Dallas State Fair," the "grand-daddy" of today's State Fair of Texas.
		A rival "Texas State Fair" was held in North Dallas that same year when some of the original fair's founders broke away, accusing the others of self-interest in the selection of the East Dallas site.
		In preparation for the six-month long event, the appearance of the park was dramatically altered by architect George Dahl and an army of artisans and workers.
