The area was established in 1879 as a railroad station and grew quickly into a transportation center. The railway brought economic activity and development that shaped the community for many decades.

The district reflects the railroad culture that shaped daily life here for decades. You can see how the community was organized around the railway, evident in the building layouts and street arrangements.
