Little Mexico was Dallas's earliest Mexican barrio. "Mexicanos" had
lived in Dallas since the mid-19th century. The social displacement
created by the Mexican Revolution of 1910, however, caused the
emergence of a distinct and vibrant neighborhood on the edge of the
city's downtown. This neighborhood consisted of modest homes, small
businesses, churches, and schools, and further immigration from
Mexico in the 1920s caused its population to boom. By the 1930s,
Little Mexico's population had grown to over 15,000 people. The
expanding city's construction projects, urban renewal plans, and
land speculation by developers gradually began to dismantle Little
Mexico. By the end of the 20th century, Little Mexico had all but
disappeared, giving way to upscale high-rise residences and hotels,
office towers of steel and glass, and the city's newest
entertainment district. This book looks at Little Mexico's growth,
zenith, demise, and its remarkable renaissance as a neighborhood.
