Houston's iconic and overwhelmingly Hispanic East End is currently looking to protect its historic and cultural legacy through a number of revitalization projects and urban improvements.
A few minutes from downtown and several miles from the Port of Houston, the East End was, since the early 20th century, a point of relocation for Germans, Italians and Mexican-Americans.
Nearby are two of the oldest Latino neighborhoods in the city, Magnolia Park and Second Ward.
The East End population tops 80,000 inhabitants, of whom 90 percent are of Hispanic descent, according to figures of the Greater East End Management District, or GEEMD, which was created by the Texas Legislature in 1999. READ MORE AT FOX NEWS LATINO
