Kieke Park sits on land that was owned by Lawrence and Gertrude Kieke! This 8-acre
neighborhood used to be the planting spot for many fig trees all around Easton Park!
Lawrence and Gertrude Kieke married in 1917, and built a small frame house on their original plot of 40.5 acres. With the help of their five children—Lucille, Florene, Lois, Raymond, and Morris—the Kieke’s enlarged their land holdings and ran a family cotton farm.
