## History

The neighborhood lies within the East Monument Historic District. The district is historically significant due to the large Czech-American immigrant community that once lived in the area. Milton-Montford has since transitioned to a majority African-American neighborhood.

Milton-Montford is a neighborhood in transition due to gentrification driven by Johns Hopkins Hospital. Sales of houses have increased since 2016 and prices have soared. Cost of real estate in Milton-Montford neighborhood has increased partly because of the nearby Station East redevelopment.
