About Dilworth
Founded in 1891 by Edward Dilworth Latta and served by Charlotte's first electric streetcar line, Dilworth predates Myers Park by two decades and Eastover by nearly forty years. Its southern half was later reworked to a Nolen plan, giving it curving streets and a park spine.
Today Dilworth pairs Victorian and Craftsman housing with a dense commercial corridor along East Boulevard, plus immediate access to Freedom Park and the Little Sugar Creek Greenway. Portions are a City of Charlotte local historic district with binding exterior review.
