Community History: From Public Input:

“My grandfather built his house on his property and still owns land nearby. What I’ve been told is the area used to be farmland. I do know he used to own animals on the property at one point. Even though the area is much more populated, older families like ours remain in the neighborhood. We have family that own houses on the adjacent roads near his and the church (True Honor Church) he’s always attended is on the road behind his. It is around 150 years old, but the city proclamation says it moved at one point. Our family’s cemetery is within walking distance of my grandpa’s house. I’m sure before it used to stand on its own but now it is in the middle of a neighborhood. It is maintained.”
