Lincolnville Historic District, Historic district in St. Augustine, Florida.

Lincolnville Historic District is a neighborhood on the southwest peninsula of St. Augustine, bounded by Cedar, Riberia, Cerro and Washington streets and DeSoto Place. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 with 548 contributing buildings. Its narrow streets, small lots and houses built close to the street line follow the colonial St. Augustine land-use pattern.

The district was established in 1866 when freed individuals leased land for minimal annual cost and built their community. The original name Little Africa was changed to Lincolnville in 1878, marking a shift in how the growing settlement identified itself.

The name Little Africa gave way to Lincolnville after streets were laid out in 1878. Hotel waiters from the neighborhood formed the first professional Black baseball team in the United States, the Ponce de Leon Giants at home and the Cuban Giants in the North; Frank Grant later entered the Baseball Hall of Fame.

The neighborhood is within walking distance of St. Augustine's center and can be explored on foot due to its grid-like street layout. Moving slowly through the area allows visitors to observe building facades and notice the architectural details that tell the neighborhood's story.

Some of the hotel waiters who lived in Lincolnville formed the first professional Black baseball team in the United States, the Ponce de Leon Giants at home and the Cuban Giants up North. Frank Grant, a team member, was later elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, and James Weldon Johnson described the team in his 1933 autobiography Along This Way.
