The Wynwood neighborhood has received a lot of attention over the last couple of decades. However, its history is more than a hundred years. The neighborhood was originally named Wyndwood Park. Later the name would drop the park from the name and the ‘D’ from the spelling of Wynwood.

The area was mostly occupied by working class residents. It featured companies such as the Coca Cola bottling plant, as well as, the American Bakeries. Northwest Fifth Avenue developed into a garment district.
