Little Mexico is a former neighborhood in Dallas, Texas, encompassing the area bordered by Maple Avenue, McKinney Avenue and the MKT (Missouri, Kansas, Texas) Railroad. Formerly a Polish Jewish neighborhood, it was settled by a wave of Mexican immigrants beginning about 1910, and was recognized as ''Little Mexico'' by 1919, becoming a center of Mexican-American community life in the city that lasted into the early 1980s, with a peak of population in the 1960s. Pike Park and a few structures are the remnants of the historic neighborhood, redeveloped as Uptown, including the Arts and West End Districts. ==Origins== Established as an area of Polish Jewish immigrants, who arrived beginning in the late 19th century, the neighborhood began to attract Mexican immigrants, who arrived after the defeat of President Porfirio Diaz and his government and the start of the Mexican Revolution (1910–1920). Mexicans from all walks of life came to the Dallas area to take jobs in factories, agriculture, and the railroads. In a process of ethnic succession, as the former mostly Jewish population moved out, Mexicans replaced them. They had a continuing immigration and increased in population. By 1919, the area was known as "Little Mexico." A ''Dallas Morning News'' article defined the area as "()he entire district bounded by Cochran and Payne streets and the Missouri, Kansas & Texas tracks and taking in the vast districts on lower Ross and McKinney avenues."〔No author. "To make sanitation drive in 'Little Mexico'," ''The Dallas Morning News'', 15 August 1919, page 17.〕
