Alamo means poplar tree in Spanish, and in the early 1800’s, the poplar on Alamo Hill marked a resting place and watering hole for those traveling by foot or horseback on the narrow path between Mission Dolores and the Presidio.
But the square was considered inaccessible and unsafe since it was fiercely guarded by a notorious and tenacious squatter, "Dutch Charlie" Duane.
Over the next decade conditions improved-- the playground was redone, new lighting installed --and in 1981, the city mounted a rededication ceremony for Alamo Square Park, attended by Mayor Dianne Feinstein and featuring a planting of cherry trees donated by a local Japanese bank.
