In the 1700s, Lancaster was confined mainly to the present-day business district and the surrounding neighborhoods, and only a few farms were east of Plum Street. The Lancaster County Prison was built along King Street, which was Lancaster's main east-west street. In the late 1800s, tobacco warehouses and cork factories were established along Walnut Street and the side streets, and industries continued to set up along New Holland Avenue. The demand for housing for workerds spurred residential growth into the neighborhood, and rowhousing was built into the 1910s.
