Ramac Park's name honors the site's history as part of an IBM campus where the world's first hard disk drive (IBM 305 RAMAC) was developed in the 1950s. Remnants of that era remain in the form of a few tile murals in the park, including one design that symbolizes computer punch cards, offering a unique tech heritage that sets Ramac Park apart from other local parks.
