Your super neighborhood at-a-glance:

Independence Heights is a historical community located north of Loop 610 and west of I-45. After World War I, Independence Heights was the first town incorporated in Texas by African-Americans. It was consolidated with Houston in 1929 and remains a predominantly African-American neighborhood. Population growth after World War II led to the expansion of the community to the north. The Burlington Northern railroad tracks run through the southern section of the community.
