The area north of the Spring Grove Cemetery was mostly farms until the purchase of Keney Park, which was established in 1896. One of the largest municipal parks in New England, Keney Park provides a naturalist setting, as designed by the Olmsted Brothers landscape architectural firm.

The area north of the Spring Grove Cemetery gradually developed along horse trolley lines as far as Capen Street. During the 1920's, the Tower Avenue area was built up, serving largely an upwardly mobile Jewish population.

From the 1890s the neighborhood has been primarily residential, with small tradespeople. However, some manufacturing was established, including the Bishop Ladder Company and The Fuller Brush Factory.
