Etymology

The term 'landmarked' derives from the word 'landmark', which can be traced back to the 15th century. Originally, it referred to physical marks made on the land to indicate property boundaries. These markers were used by landowners to define their territory and were critical for navigation and land rights. Over time, the meaning of 'landmark' evolved to encompass significant geographical or historical sites that hold cultural importance. In the 20th century, the concept of 'landmarked' became associated with architectural preservation, reflecting society's growing awareness of the value of maintaining historical structures. Landmark designations help protect these sites from demolition and ensure their legacy is preserved for future generations.
