The actual birthplace of Irving took place at Main and Rock Island. Lots were auctioned off there and this is where the original depot was located. Developing a good working relationship with different downtown organizations interested in the economic vitality of the area is a key to our program. Groups such as the Irving Downtown Association, the Irving Heritage Society, and the Irving Downtown Residents Association are a perfect example of people that will make the area what it is and what it will become. The Preservation and Redevelopment Program is committed to the tasks that lie ahead as well as committed to the entire community.
Progress is continual and the Heritage District is progressively evolving.
Downtown Residents Association Meets quarterly.
