The history of Charlotte is inseparable from the history of its
neighborhoods. From the city's founding until the late 1890s, the
four wards created by the crossing of Trade and Tryon Streets
defined the residential fabric of Charlotte. As the twentieth
century approached, the Southern textile boom fueled labor and
housing demands that were met by the earliest suburbs that rose out
of the farms and pastures surrounding the small town. Dilworth was
the first of these suburbs, connected to the town
center by the city's maiden electric streetcar line. More new
communities quickly followed. Some, such as Myers Park and
Elizabeth, have remained strong throughout their history. North
Charlotte, Belmont, and others have changed under economic and
social challenges. Still others, such as Brooklyn, are gone;
they survive only in the memories and photographs of the families
that called them home.
