The Babcock Lakes were a series of water ponds near the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., before the area became the National Mall. The lakes played a key role in introducing carp into the United States. In 1877, a handful of surplus carp were transferred from Druid Hill Park in Baltimore, Maryland to Monument Park in Washington D.C..
