About the South End
South End takes its name from South Boulevard, its main thoroughfare, and its
location just south of Uptown. An area of light industry and cotton mills for
much of its history, today its former industrial buildings and mills are loft
condominiums, restaurants, breweries, shops, and offices. Charlotte's historic
trolley also originates in the neighborhood.
Historic South End, often referred to simply as The Southend, is a neighborhood
immediately south of Uptown in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The Southend has its beginning in the 1850's with Charlotte's first railroad
line, connecting the Queen City to Columbia and Charleston, SC. As time passed a
thriving manufacturing community sprang up along the tracks, centered on the
booming textile industry. The industrial area declined during the 1970's and
1980's, only to be revived in the early 1990s as restaurants, shops, and
design-related industries discovered the old mills and warehouses. The Historic
Charlotte Trolley Museum is located in the neighborhood, and the trolley line
runs from Atherton Mill in South End to 9th Street uptown. The entire trolley
line is currently under construction due to the light rail line project in
Charlotte called 'Lynx'.
