Abstract:

The Higgs neighborhood in Greenville, North Carolina is approximately one-hundred years old and continues to survive as the city expands. The fifty-block area of Higgs was considered a good part of town until the early 1950s when East Carolina University entered a period of growth, triggering development towards other parts of town. This article discusses the history of the neighborhood, changing demographics, and renovation of the Roxy Theatre.
