Your super neighborhood at-a-glance:

Magnolia Park borders the Houston Ship Channel just south of the Turning Basin, the location of some of the first wharves built when Houston became a deep water port in 1913. The community thrived as a home for workers on the docks and in industries lining the channel. For a time it was even an incorporated municipality. As early as the 1930s, Magnolia Park was developing an identity as a center of Houston’s Hispanic community. This continues, especially around recently revived commercial areas near Harrisburg and Wayside. New residential development, which previously has been prevented due to utility restrictions, is also starting to occur now.
