History

Founded in the late 1800s as Charlotte’s first planned suburb, Dilworth was designed with wide streets, a central park, and direct trolley access to Uptown. Today, much of the neighborhood is preserved through historic district protections, keeping its early 20th-century architecture intact while welcoming new shops, cafes, and apartments that add to its vitality.
