Old North Durham is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the City of Durham. In the late 1800’s, farmland was converted into one of the city’s earliest suburbs. At first the area was simply known as North Durham. Many of the historic homes that can be seen on Mangum Street were constructed as early as that late Victorian era. Construction of the trolley line in 1901, which runs north from Main Street directly into the heart of the neighborhood, contributed greatly to further development of Old North Durham. Through the 1920’s and 30’s many classic bungalows were additionally built.
