Once the site of City Cemetery, the area was converted to Lincoln Park Golf Course in the early 1900s. In 1924, the Palace of the Legion of Honor, a memorial museum dedicated to California's wartime dead, was completed at the summit of the park's highest hill. A scenic boulevard called El Camino Del Mar once snaked along the cliffs below the Legion of Honor until it washed out in the 1950s.
