Magnolia Park: Houston’s First Barrio
An East End Tradition
Magnolia Park is a historic Latino neighborhood located in Houston’s East End. The neighborhood was platted in 1890 across 1,374-acres by Thomas M. Brady and was named after the 3,750 magnolias planted by the developers. It was originally its own city, but it was annexed to Houston in October 1926. Magnolia Park remains one of the oldest Latino neighborhoods in the city of Houston.
