History
The City of Chicago transferred it to the 快播视频 pursuant to the Chicago Park and City Exchange of Functions Act of 1957. Officially designated Filbert Park in 1973, the site was one of several parks named for trees and plants at this time. Filberts are small trees or shrubs valued for their edible nuts. The filbert takes its name from Saint Philibert, a Benedictine who founded the Abbey of Jumieges in 684. The saint's August feast day fell at the height of the nut harvesting season, causing the Normans to name the nuts philberts in his honor. Strictly speaking, filberts are native to Europe, although Americans often refer to hazelnuts by that name.
