The District was formed in April, 1975, and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in May, 1996. The design, scale, and materials of single family houses in the neighborhood reflect development from the 1860s through World War II. The neighborhood includes some of Galveston's best examples of the Queen Anne style. Several homes within the District, because of their architectural and historical significance, have National Register status.
Although no record confirms the historic name of the District, tradition ascribes this name to the neighborhood's reputation as the home of Galveston's prosperous families.
The District is roughly bounded by 25th Street (west), 23rd Street (east), Avenue P (south), and Avenue K (north).
