Since 1905
The Queen City neighborhood, whose buildings date from 1905 to 1929, is the earliest African-American community that survives in South Dallas. The district emerged from the former farming community called the Prairie, which was settled during the Reconstruction-era and centered along Greer Avenue (now Metropolitan).
