It is usually referred to simply as South End and is one of three Municipal Service Districts in Charlotte. The South End's history dates back to the 1850's. It began to take form with Charlotte's first railroad line, connecting the Queen City to Columbia and Charleston, SC. With the passage of time, a thriving manufacturing community populated the area along the tracks. The community earned its livelihood from the booming textile industry. During the 1970s and 1980s the industrial area declined. It revived again in the early 1990s when the mill buildings and warehouses were resorted by restaurants, shops, and design-related industries. The area has a number of renovated factories and a good mix of commercial, retail, and high end residential construction. The area has different well-known businesses, such as Price's Chicken Coop, Design Center of the Carolina's, Woods on South and the national headquarters of Concentric Marketing
