This district has also been known for housing many ethnic groups such as Hungarians, Romanians, and African Americans.

After World War I the Wright-Dunbar area was known as the cultural and commercial center of Dayton's African American community.

Decades later, in the 1950s and 1960s, much of the area was damaged during riots, urban renewal, and the construction of Interstate 75.

Later, through an effort by the city of Dayton and the county, many of the houses in the district were brought back to life again.
