The district was developed to take advantage of the Hagerstown and Frederick Railway, which paralleled what was then known as the National Pike, and is an example of a small-scale streetcar suburb.

The subdivision was subdivided from the Kefauver farm and included a trolley stop in front of developer Lewis Kefauver's house.

The trolley right-of-way is still visible in the deep setback between the street and the sidewalk in the front yards of houses on the north side of the street.
