Scott Street

Scott Street runs north and south through the center of San Francisco, from Duboce Street to Marina Boulevard at the waterfront.

It's the west border of four parks: Duboce Park, Alamo Square, Hamilton Park, and Alta Plaza Park; its northern tip is at the western end of Marina Green.

It passes through the Western Addition, Fillmore, Pacific Heights, and Marina neighborhoods.

According to Streets of San Francisco, Scott Street was named for General Winfield Scott, a U.S. General who ran for US President in 1852.

An 1861 map of San Francisco shows that this street has been called Scott since the early days of San Francisco.
