The History of the American Squirrel Squirrels, especially the Eastern gray squirrel, have lived in North America for millions of years. Native Americans admired their resourcefulness, and early settlers often saw them in the dense forests. By the 19th century, squirrels were introduced to city parks like those in New York and Boston to bring nature into urban areas. They quickly became a common and beloved sight, known for their playful behavior and knack for storing food. Today, squirrels thrive in both cities and forests, though some species face challenges like habitat loss. They remain symbols of adaptability and energy in American wildlife.
