San Juan Tepesi, şu anda New York City'nin Manhattan'ın Upper West Side bölgesindeki Lincoln Square mahallesinde bulunan bir topluluktur. Bu bölgede bulunan San Juan Tepesi, Amerika-Spanya Savaşı'nın önemli bir savaşı olan ve Rough Riders olarak bilinen Amerikalı askerlerin de yer aldığı San Juan Hill Muharebesi'ne ev sahipliği yapmıştır.

San Juan Tepesi'nde Amerikan ordusunun en iyi askerlerinden biri olarak kabul edilen genç Teğmen John J. Pershing, D Troop'u komuta etmek zorunda kalmıştır. Bir başka bilgiye göre, İspanyol Komutan Arsenio Linares, San Juan Tepesi'ni yanlış bir şekilde tahkim etmiştir. Düşmanın saldırısını yapanların net bir şekilde görüneceği alanları değil, tepenin üst kısmını tahkim etmiş ve bu da İspanyol topçularının düşmanın alt kısımda neler yaptığını görmelerini engellemiştir.

San Juan Tepesi Muharebesi'nde kaç kişinin öldüğü sorusuna gelirsek, yaklaşık 366 kişinin yaralandığı ve 41 kişinin esir alındığı bilinmektedir. 1 Temmuz 1898 tarihinde gerçekleşen bu muharebe, İspanya-Amerika Savaşı'nın dönüm noktalarından biri olmuştur.

San Juan Tepesi, I. Dünya Savaşı sırasında çoğunlukla Afrika kökenli Amerikalılar, Afrika Karayiplileri ve Porto Rikoluların yaşadığı bir bölgeydi.

San Juan Tepesi Muharebesi'nde, Kettle Hill'e ilk çıkanlar Rough Riders ve 9. ve 10. Süvari Alayları'na mensup siyahi askerler olmuştur. San Juan Tepesi'nin zirvesi ise daha sonra alınmıştır. Tepeden Santiago'ya bakan Amerikalılar, bir sonraki gün şehre kuşatma başlatmışlardır. Tepenin zirvesine ilk ulaşan komutan ise Major William Auman olmuştur. Lt. Ord ise İspanyollar kaçarken geride kalanlara ateş desteği vermiş ancak boğazına isabet eden bir mermiyle ağır yaralanmıştır.
