In October 2021, the City of Bangor named this park after Gerald E. Talbot. Born in Bangor on October 28, 1931, Gerald E. Talbot grew up near Second Street Park, now Talbot Park. He is the eldest of five children and an eighth generation Mainer. Elected to the Maine State Legislature in 1972, Gerald Talbot became the first African American legislator in the State of Maine. He has been a long-life civil rights leader and activist and currently resides in Portland.
