Eastover
Spring Dale Dairy Farm, 1900. The house in the background was most likely the Watkins Farmhouse.
The land that is now Eastover as developed by the E. C. Griffith Company in 1927 was the Spring Dale Dairy Farm operated by McDonald Watkins. With its lovely curving drives Eastover welcomes visitors to take a stroll through its relaxing, tree-lined streetscapes. Earle Sumner Draper, one of the premier urban planners in the South during the early twentieth century, designed the neighborhood with convenient day-to-day living in mind. In those days, Eastover was much unlike Myers Park, a neighborhood solely designed around the streetcar. Eastover on the other hand was designed with the automobile in mind. With trolley service several blocks away from the neighborhood itself, the nearest trolley stops located at Queens Road and Hermitage Court.
With fantastic walkability, Eastover is a popular Charlotte neighborhood.
