Jackson Square Park
Jackson Square Park is an urban park in the Greenwich Village Historic District〔(New York City Landmarks Preservation Committee maps )〕 in Manhattan, New York City. The park is bordered by 8th Avenue on the west, Horatio Street on the south, and Greenwich Avenue on the east. The park interrupts West 13th Street.
The very basics of its triangular shape were set first by the intersection of two Native American footpaths which would grow into unique, foundational Greenwich Village streets,〔“Indian paths in the great metropolis,” Reginald Pelham Bolton, New York Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, 1922.〕 and later the imposition of the 1811 Commissioners' Plan—a brand-new street grid that comprises most of Manhattan's modern-day streets that ultimately would see 8th Avenue driven down through the intersection.
The triangular area moved from an unimproved public rallying place to a classic Victorian viewing garden, then a children's playground, and finally a contemporary mixed-use space.
==Pre-Colonial: Intersection of footpaths==
Two footpaths would emerge as foundational streets in what is today’s Meatpacking district and West Village of Manhattan. One footpath led up from the riverbank trading station called “Sapohanikan” and was both largely perpendicular to the shore and aligned closely to the solar equinox of spring and fall. It would become what we today call Gansevoort Street.〔(Hudson River Park )〕 Its parallel offspring, Horatio Street, forms the southern border of the park. The other footpath came up from the south and would become what we today call Greenwich Avenue, which forms the east side of the park.
