Seattle Neighborhoods: South Park — Thumbnail History (historylink.org)
The neighborhood of South Park, on the west bank of the Duwamish River, was once a small town of Italian and Japanese farmers who supplied fresh produce to Seattle’s Pike Place Market. South Park annexed to Seattle in 1907. After World War II, the tiny community struggled to keep from being overwhelmed by industrial development.- South Park, Seattle (Wikipedia)
