It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 14, 1994.

The district was founded in 1921 during a period of residential expansion in West Palm Beach as the city grew northward. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, recognizing its importance as a collection of early 20th century American residential architecture.

The district's name comes from Northwood, the surrounding West Palm Beach neighbourhood, and its streets carry numbered names like 26th and 35th.

You can walk through the neighborhood at your own pace and explore the streets and homes without paying any entrance fees. It is best to visit in the morning or late afternoon when the streets are less busy and the light helps you see the architectural details more clearly.

The district's 320 historic buildings lie within boundaries set by Broadway, North Dixie Highway and 26th and 35th Streets, and the whole area was listed on the National Register on April 14, 1994. The listing covers the buildings as a group, not individual houses.
