History of Beacon Hill:
Beacon Hill is one of many unique and historical neighborhoods that came about during San Antonio’s first and largest expansion, beginning in the 1850s and continuing until the Great Depression of the 1930s. The San Antonio Street Railway Trolley lines that originally provided transportation to San Pedro Springs Park were the main reason neighborhoods like Beacon Hill were developed.
Farm and ranch lands, located in the hills north of the city center, were transformed into residential subdivisions including Beacon Hill. Distinctive turn-of-the-century architecture was used in the area’s development and many prominent San Antonians lived here at the turn of the century. Beacon Hill was one of the first modern platted subdivisions developed in San Antonio and holds the same name of the modern-day neighborhood association.
