The King Lincoln District was established in July 2002 to honor the historic heart and soul of Columbus’ African American community. This arch, welcoming all to the King Lincoln District, is dedicated to our shared history and our commitment to the neighborhood’s future. The arch sits at the gateway of the District, which begins at the first church for African Americans in Columbus, St. Paul AME.
