About the Neighborhood
Speedway City became a town in 1926 and remains a town governed by a Town
Manager, Town Council, and Clerk-Treasurer. The boundaries for the original
platted city were Main Street to Winton Avenue, 10th to 16th streets.
The original platted area, now a designated historic district, contains homes
built mostly in the 1920s. During the 1940s another surge of houses were built
in the historic district. There were also many houses built within the
Association boundaries during the 1940s and 50s. The most recent round of
houses were built in the 1990s on the remaining vacant lots.
