Old North Davis History
History of the Old North neighborhood of Davis, California
This website provides a collection of historical materials on a
traditional neighborhood in Davis, California called the "Old North" or
"Old North Davis."
The collection is organized into three types of folders.
The first type deals with the area as a
whole in the "1" series of folders, to the left.
The second deals with the 12 face-blocks
and the three east-west streets making up the
neighborhood. These make up the "2" series of folders, to the
left.
The third type of folder deals with entities
external to the Old North that have proximate impacts on
it. At this time, there is one folder in the "3" series.
If there are historical materials not on this site that you would like
to see here, or if you would like to participate in developing the site
itself, please contact me at jflofland@ucdavis.edu.
The wider context of Davis itself is addressed on the websites Davis History and Researching Davis History.
The website of the Old North Davis Neighborhood Association is at http://www.oldnorthdavis.net/
