About Fourth Ward:
The Fourth Ward or northwest quadrant of Charlotte's Uptown area was resurrected in the mid-1800s as one of the more prosperous areas of town providing homes to local merchants, physicians and ministers. The First Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church, and St. Peters Episcopal Church are also a part of Fourth Ward. By the 1900s Charlotte residents has moved out to areas like
Dilworth and
Myers Park. By 1970, Fourth Ward had fallen into a state of neglect with many homes vandalized or burned. But the late 20th century Fourth Ward saw a restoration and is now a thriving part of Uptown.
