Alamo means poplar tree in Spanish and in the early 1800s, the lone cottonwood on Alamo Hill marked a watering hole along the horseback trail from Mission Dolores to the Presidio. Mayor James Van Ness set aside 12.7 acres of the hole in 1856, naming it Alamo Square. Confirmed by the state legislature the following year as a public park, Alamo Square and its Victorian residences started down the potholed road to Historic District, over 100 years later.</i></p><div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/parkkiosk/alamo_square_park" class="og_links">Alamo Square Park</a></li> </ul></div><p><a href="http://www.sfnpc.org/node/259">read more</a></p> Alamo Square Park Mon, 07 May 2007 07:05:25 -0700 Sapphire 259 at http://www.sfnpc.org http://www.sfnpc.org/node/908 (there is no text for this park forum at this time)<br /> <div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/parkkiosk/alamo_square_park" class="og_links">Alamo Square Park</a></li> </ul></div> Alamo Square Park Wed, 15 Aug 2007 17:07:29 -0700 msjones 908 at http://www.sfnpc.org
