Chief Quipuha Park is located on the Paseo de Susana peninsula, in the north of the city of Agana, in the United States territory of Guam . Like the rest of the peninsula, it was created after World War II, based on bulldozed debris from the ruined city. It is named for Chief Quipuha, the highest ranking chief in the area at the time of the first European settlement on the island.
Famous quotes containing the words chief and/or park:
“To be rich is to have a ticket of admission to the masterworks and chief men of each race. It is to have the sea, by voyaging; to visit the mountains, Niagara, the Nile, the desert, Rome, Paris, Constantinople: to see galleries, libraries, arsenals, manufactories.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“and the words never said,
And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.
We sat in the car park till twenty to one
And now I’m engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.”
—Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
