"Veterans Field was originally a private park established for the lesiure of Sanford and Son (later known as Bigelow-Sanford), carpet and rug manufacturers.

After the company relocated its operations away from Amsterdam in the mid 1950s, the company donated the land to the City of Amsterdam, which renamed the park Veterans Field."
