New York - Chelsea Historic District

 
Chelsea started as farmland in 1750, graduated to a suburb by the 1830s and hit its peak 40 years later as a center for theater, fashion and music. By the twentieth century, Chelsea began to wane, becoming a warehouse district. Today, however, Chelsea is regaining its lost luster as the middle class has rediscovered the area.
