Potrero Dogpatch Meet Yourself | Potrero Hill Historical Walking Tour
Join us for another curated historical walking tour for residents of Potrero Hill and Dogpatch.
It was the 1850s on the southern edge of town when cattle peacefully grazed the hill known as Potrero Nuevo. But bustling industry along the shoreline below the hill created a need for nearby housing. Hear how Potrero Hill was transformed and discover this secret oasis isolated from the rest of the city and blessed with sweeping views of the skyline and Bay.
Once squatters elbowed the herd out of the area, it was off to the races. Potrero Hill was urbanized, industrialized, and eventually gentrified. Yet, today, some residents still feel like it’s a secret — isolated from the rest of the city but blessed with sweeping views of the skyline and Bay. See the beautiful buildings that hide out along the hilly streets of Potrero. Learn about a little piece of paradise in the southeast.
