Luna Park Historic District is a 40 acre residential neighborhood on the Kanawha River located just west of Charleston West Virginia’s downtown business district. Its unique history has taken it from farmland to amusement park to urban subdivision.

Marketed as “Charleston’s new beauty spot” in 1923, this walkable neighborhood today contains over 400 historically contributing structures built in the 1920s and 1930s representing a range of architectural styles.

Before the slow transition into integration in the 1960s and 70s, both the park and the neighborhood excluded African Americans–even John C. Norman, WV’s first Black architect who built some of its houses. But today, this accessible neighborhood celebrates diversity and opportunities for people of all walks of life to own a home.

Together in the Luna Park Historic District, we grow a community in which everyone can thrive.
