Squire Park overlaps considerably with Cherry Hill, although Squire Park boundaries are shifted slightly southwards, with the northern boundary at E. Union Street rather than E. Madison Street, and the southern boundary at S. Jackson Street rather than Yesler Way.
Squire Park is named after Watson Squire, who was a Washington territory governor, Washington state's first US Senator, and owner of much of the original neighborhood land in a parcel bounded by 12th and 20th Avenues and Cherry and Alder Streets.[1] This parcel was platted by Squire in 1890[2] and acquired by the city of Seattle in 1891.[3]
