Carpark Records was established in New York City in 1999 by Todd Hyman before relocating to the Washington, D.C. area in 2005. Initially focusing mostly on experimental electronic music, the label increasingly expanded and went on to release music from Beach House, Dan Deacon, Toro y Moi, and more. Over the years, the label also established a number of imprints and subsidiary labels including Acute Records, Company Records, and Paw Tracks.
