                  [**Open Highland Park in Google Maps →**35.0440° N, 85.2890° W · ZIP 37404](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=35.044,-85.289)
              
    
    
          
        

## Character

        

A historically diverse, working-class neighborhood with Queen Anne and Craftsman bungalow housing stock from the 1890s–1920s. Revitalization investment has increased since 2010, driven by proximity to UTC and the broader Chattanooga urban reinvestment cycle.

      
    
    
          
        

## History

        

Highland Park developed as a streetcar suburb in the 1880s–1900s. The neighborhood has been predominantly African-American since the mid-20th century and has a significant civil rights history connected to Howard High School and the 1960 Chattanooga sit-in movement.
