===Changes Since Opening Day===
Liberty Square opened with the rest of the Magic Kingdom in 1971. Besides the aforementioned Hall of Presidents, Liberty Square also opened with the [[Haunted Mansion]], the Admiral Joe Fowler Riverboat (which actually opened one day later than the rest of the land) and the Mike Fink Keel Boats <ref> http://thisdayindisneyhistory.homestead.com/disneyworldgrandopening.html </ref>.

Unlike the many of the lands in the Magic Kingdom, Liberty Square has only had a few major changes since opening day. The first of these was the addition of the Richard F Irvine Riverboat in 1973 <ref name="dated"> http://waltdatedworld.bravepages.com/id141.htm </ref>. Unfortunately, the Joe Fowler was damaged in 1980 and never returned to active duty <ref name= "dated"/>. In 1996, the Richard F. Irvine Riverboat was renamed the Liberty Belle <ref> https://www.mouseplanet.com/guide/761/Walt-Disney-World/Magic-Kingdom/Liberty-Square/Liberty-Square-Riverboat </ref>.
