	Yerba Buena Island - Definition, explanation
		As the natural base for the artificial Treasure Island, Yerba Buena and Treasure Islands formed the Treasure Island Naval Base, beginning during World War II until 1996, when it and the Presidio of San Francisco were decommissioned, and opened to public control, under stipulations.
		Officially, the island was Yerba Buena until 1895, when on a decision by the U.S. Geographic Board, it was changed to "Goat Island." It was changed back to "Yerba Buena" on June 3, 1931.
		The island is currently part of District 6 of the City and County of San Francisco.

		And the steep slopes of Yerba Buena Island, though radically altered by invasive weeds and the hand of man, still harbor remnants of the original native flora, a population from which the landscape planners may wish to draw their inspiration.
		The island was named Yerba Buena (Spanish for "good herb") after the creeping wild mint, Satureja douglasii, that once covered these shores.
		Yerba buena looks delightful in the garden when trailing over a stone retaining wall or other hardscaping, and can soften the spaces between paving stones or beside paths.
