The land was donated by Adele Lebowitz in 1997, of Morton’s Department Store and namesake of the "Adele Lebowitz Center for Youth and Family" at the Washington School of Psychiatry,[6] to the Fairfax County Park Authority to build the park.[7]

The name Clemyjontri is derived from the donor’s four children: Carolyn (CL), Emily (EMY), John (Jon), and Petrina (Tri).[8]

The park has been written about in the fictional book Murder Has a Sweet Tooth.[9]
