Azalea District History

The Azalea Residential Historic District not only preserves the architectural legacy of the first 53 years of the 20th century but also serves as a testament to the remarkable growth and progress that Tyler underwent following the discovery of the East Texas Old Field.

In recognition of these compelling historical factors, the Azalea Residential Historic District earned approval and designation as a National Historic District in June 2003.

The development of the Azalea District saw the addition of churches, schools, and some limited commercial construction. Both public and private investments in infrastructure and recreational amenities, including the installation of brick streets, utility systems, creek channelization, and the establishment of public parks, played a significant role in facilitating the district's growth. What truly ties the district together are its meticulously maintained gardens, adorned with extensive plantings of azaleas, pecan trees, oaks, and maples, which not only define the district but also inspire its name.
