The name Tangletown refers to the street layout, which does not follow a traditional grid. Until it was renamed in 1996 the neighborhood’s name was Fuller, after its elementary school named for Margaret Fuller. Fuller was an American feminist, poet, essayist, journalist and educator during the latter half of the 17th century. In 1977, the school was torn down and the land converted into Fuller Park. This small park is a great center of community life and offers many activities, events and a beautiful flower garden.
