Congress authorized the park on October 15, 1966, as Wolf Trap Farm Park, and it was redesignated with its current name on August 21, 2002.

The park grew from Catherine Filene Shouse's donation of about 100 acres of her Vienna farm, together with her funds for an amphitheater, and now covers roughly 130 acres.

The park's open-air Filene Center opened on July 1, 1971; its performances are programmed by the Wolf Trap Foundation, created in 1968, while the National Park Service maintains the grounds and buildings.
