  King William Area History
The King William Association has the distinction of being what may be the only neighborhood association in the enter state with three historic districts within its boundaries, including the state’s oldest district created by city ordinance and two districts recognized by the National Register of Historic Places.
The King William area was originally farmland, irrigated by acequias flowing from the San Antonio River, owned by the 1718 Mission San Antonio de Valero.
While the two oldest structures in the district are found on Cedar Street, the remainder of the street and most of Mission and the east/west streets are composed of simple frame vernacular structures.

The King William Historic District, located immediately south of downtown San Antonio on the east bank of the San Antonio River, was established in the 1840's, when a large number of Germans immigrated to Texas and settled in the vicinity of San Antonio.
The autobiographical implications here are pretty obvious in view of the fact that, in 1997, Cisneros had her modest frame house on East Guenther Street painted "periwinkle purple." Her act generated a mini-firestorm in the community, because many of the residents in King William considered her contemporary color scheme inappropriate for this historic district.
Notwithstanding the complaints from her opponents across South Alamo Street in the imposing King William District, Sandra Cisneros won the battle and has been permitted to keep her lavender colored house intact.

 King William Park History
On February 25, 1901, citizens petitioned the City Council to establish a park on King William Street.

In 1917, King William Park-- the designation "Place" evidently was never commonly used-- was listed in a San Antonio Express article entitled "Twenty-two Beauty Spots and Plazas." Period photographs indicate that the park was sparsely landscaped around 1920, and that trees were planted around the perimeter at a later time.
