Haughville Historic District

Haughville is a working-class neighborhood west of downtown Indianapolis. Its borders are roughly White River Parkway to the east, roughly Tibbs Avenue to the west, 10th Street to the north, and Michigan Street to the south. It was first settled in the 1830s and grew after a bridge was built connecting to Indianapolis, which annexed the town in 1897. Population then included Slovenian, German and Irish immigrants, among other European immigrants. In the 21st century, the neighborhood suffers from a high crime rate and low property values. It is considered one of the most impoverished neighborhoods in the city.
