Much of the land within the neighborhood was previously known as Morganford, and land to the east of Morganford Road was part of the Carondelet Commons. The area began to be settled by Americans and German immigrants in the 1870s, though most of the area was not residential until after World War II.[2]

Founded in 1905, the St. Lucas Evangelical Lutheran Church on Morganford Road was the first Slovak Lutheran Church west of the Mississippi.
