At one time largely German and Jewish populations supported many houses of worship in this neighborhood. Many of these religious buildings are still standing but have changed denominational affiliation. They now reflect the neighborhood's African-American cultural identity. |

The King Memorial is located in Martin Luther King Jr. Park. The neighborhood and the Park were named Humboldt Park after Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), the noted geographer and explorer. Located near the entrance to the Park, at 1020 Humboldt Parkway, is the Buffalo Museum of Science. |
