Description
The 1928 Austin city plan set East Avenue, the site of present day Interstate 35, as the dividing line between “white Austin” and “Black Austin”. African-American Austinites living west of East Avenue were denied access to public services and utilities in hopes they would be influenced to move to the city’s east side. As a result of this segregation, Central East Austin is one of the city’s historically Black neighborhoods and is home to many of Austin’s Black institutions.Notable areas of the neighborhood include the Texas State Cemetery, the Oakwood Cemetery, and the Swedish Hill Historic District.
