What to know
He lived in Minneapolis in the 19th century and was effective in the anti-slavery issue. The neighborhood named after him is situated in Minneapolis’ Southwest community and borders Interstate 35W on the east and Lyndale Avenue on the west. The northern border is 36th Street, and 46th Street is the southern edge. King Field became part of Minneapolis in 1887 when the southern border of Minneapolis was stretched. King Field neighborhood has a number of facilities including churches, schools, a park named after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and many small businesses.
The King Field neighborhood is predominantly a residential area of single-family houses with some multiple family dwellings and apartment buildings, all of which along the neighborhood’s tree-lined streets. The neighborhood puts on a summer Farmer’s Market and an annual art show. King Field is well served by bike lanes, transit options, and has easy passageways to downtown and the rest of the suburbs through I-35W. The majorities of the houses in the neighborhood were built before 1920 and include Bungalows, Prairie-style, Arts and Crafts and other period-revival styles.
