==History==
Green Park derives its name from Green Park Road, which runs through what was previously an unincorporated portion of St. Louis County. Formerly mostly rural and devoted to truck farming, the area was gradually opened to suburban residential development. In 1994, Fred Hoehn led a movement among local citizens for the community to incorporate, which succeeded with a vote on April 4, 1995. The new city's first Board of Aldermen meeting was held on June 1 of that year.<ref>https://callnewspapers.com/green-park-to-celebrate-20-years-of-incorporation/</ref>
Since the 1990s, Green Park has seen a significant influx of European-born immigrants, mostly from [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]].<ref>https://www.city-data.com/city/Green-Park-Missouri.html</ref>
