Hogan’s Creek origin is in the Springfield community. Wayne W. Wood in his 1989 Jacksonville’s Architectural Heritage: Landmarks for the Future (Jacksonville, FL) described that in about 1870, Springfield had been named because of a spring of good water located in a field near Broad and West Fourth Streets. This spring would have been near the headwaters of Hogan’s Creek. Wood reported that in 1929 Jacksonville architect Henry John Klutho designed the balustrades and bridges along the creek in the Springfield area, including the one highlighted in this waymark. Additional information about Hogan's Creek is available on the internet
