Liberty Square opened with the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971, designed as a tribute to colonial America. Sponsored in its early years by companies like Mattel and Eastern Airlines, the land featured opening‑day attractions such as The Hall of Presidents and the Haunted Mansion, along with the Liberty Belle Riverboat circling the Rivers of America. Over time, smaller experiences like the Keelboats and Mike Fink’s River Rafts were retired, but Liberty Square has remained a showcase of American history and heritage, blending patriotic storytelling with timeless Disney attractions.
