Hemmed in by steep hills, Glen Park is defined by its
quintessentially San Franciscan topography. Only 120 years ago this
area, as well as neighboring Diamond Heights, was part of the
Outside Lands, so
isolated that only farmers would settle here. Life revolved around
Islais Creek, which ran through the canyon and provided water for
the dairies. Then, in 1892, a German immigrant named Behrend Joost
founded the citys first electric streetcar to shuttle residents to
jobs downtown, and a neighborhood was born. As peak-roofed wooden
cottages and houses began to fill in the valleys, the urban, homey,
and decidedly livable Glen Park that we know today began to emerge.
