Area History and Information:

Greenville Avenue used to be the most important thoroughfare in Dallas before the US 75 was built.  Before US 75 was built, Greenville Avenue was the main way to reach Richardson, Plano, McKinney and the states of Oklahoma and Arkansas. As such, Lower Greenville was developed with restaurants and shopping. The intersection Goodwin Avenue and Greenville Avenue is still a popular bar-going location today and has been since at least the 1930s.
