Monthly events like the Cooper-Young Community Farmers Market draw residents throughout the year. The annual Cooper-Young Festival (September) is one of Memphis's largest street festivals. ## History The area developed as a working-class streetcar suburb in the early 20th century, declined mid-century, and was revitalized beginning in the 1970s by artists and young professionals drawn by low rents and walkable character.
