Neighborhood Insight
The South Park Addition was registered in 1870 but saw little building until 1905, and the 1906 opening of an electric streetcar line to downtown spurred growth. In 2017 the city designated the original subdivision as the South Park Historic District. The South Park Historic District, designated in 2017, is one of the best examples of an early 20th century streetcar suburb.
