Neighborhood Description The West Central neighborhood is located directly west of downtown Fort Wayne and was originally developed as a residential area during the city’s canal era in the 1830s. As Fort Wayne grew through the nineteenth century and transportation systems improved, the West Central neighborhood became favored as a residential area for the middle and upper class. Small, vernacular homes were replaced by larger homes that displayed the fashionable architectural styles of the time. In the mid-1980s, a portion of the West Central neighborhood was designated as a national and local historic district. This was in recognition of the collection of architecturally significant and intact buildings representing this early residential neighborhood that was important in the development of the city of Fort Wayne. The West Central neighborhood boasts a strong community association, a neighborhood art gallery, and a dinner theater . It is walking distance to new Parkview field baseball stadium, the main library and numerous churches.
