Pulaski Heights

[2] The area remained an independent community until 1916, when the residents voted to become Little Rock's Ninth Ward for the advantages of becoming an incorporated neighborhood, including a fire station.

[6] Mount St. Mary's Academy and Convent, founded in 1851 in downtown Little Rock, moved to a 10-acre site on Kavanaugh Blvd in 1908.

[8] Pulaski Heights Middle School was founded for the area residents in 1908, at the corner of Prospect and Oak Streets.

[9] Little Rock College, founded in 1908, moved to North Tyler Street in the Heights in 1916; however, the school would close due to the Great Depression with an announcement on July 12, 1930.

[13] Several notable architects were commissioned to build homes and businesses in the area including Charles L. Thompson and George R. Mann, who also designed the Arkansas State Capitol.

The most famous resident to grow up in the neighborhood, however, was Helen Gurley Brown, the founder of Cosmopolitan magazine and author of "Sex and the Single Girl."

He died in an elevator accident in the state capitol in 1932,[17] and the remaining family moved to Los Angeles, California in 1937.
