Development began in 1904 when the area transitioned from rural farmland into a planned residential community. Growth accelerated through the mid-1900s as transportation improved and more residents moved into the newly formed neighborhoods.
St. Mary's Episcopal Church stands as a focal point for the community, its historic building reflecting the area's architectural roots. The presence of this church and the Lorraine Park Cemetery Gate Lodge shows how locals value the older structures that shape their neighborhood's identity.
Several major roads connect the area, making it accessible from different directions for those driving through or visiting. The community is spread out across several miles, so walking between destinations is not practical for most visitors.
