Changes

The idea for Liberty Square originally started as an addition for Disneyland's Main Street USA. The idea was revisited in the late 1960's during the planning of the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. Liberty Square was revisited because Imaganeers had a problem. In Disneyland they had a land called “New Orleans Square”, but Walt Disney World was so close to New Orleans that they felt the land would not hold the same appeal. Liberty Square was the perfect answer to their problem. Instead of being based on New Orleans, the Imaganeers themed Liberty Square to be a colonial town. The land was similar to New Orleans square, but distinctive enough to hold the attention of the guests. Another addition to Liberty Square was its it's architecture. In Liberty Square the architecture progress progresses through time. It starts by the Haunted Mansion (New York 1680-80) and travels through the colonial times before ending in Frontierland with Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (California 1880).
