Central (neighborhood), Minneapolis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the neighborhood in south Minneapolis. For the Central community of Minneapolis, which includes downtown, see Central, Minneapolis

The Central neighborhood (part of the larger Powderhorn community) of Minneapolis, Minnesota is located south of the downtown region of the city. It is bounded by Lake Street on the north, Chicago Avenue on the east, 38th Street on the south, and Interstate 35W on the west. It should not be confused with the Central community, which covers Downtown and some surrounding neighborhoods.

Developed mostly between 1900 and 1930, the Central neighborhood is racially diverse and has drawn African-American residents since the 1920s. Until it was closed in 1982 and later razed, Central High School was located here (Prince graduated from Central in 1976).
