Austin/East

East Austin is a district of Austin, to the north of Lady Bird Lake and to the east of IH-35. This includes the area set aside as the "Negro district" in the infamous 1928 official city segregation plan, and "Mexicans" were informally encouraged to concentrate here. Nowadays, some areas of East Austin are strongly gentrifying.
