Planning notes for New York
SoHo, an acronym for South of Houston Street, is a district in Lower Manhattan, New York City, defined by its 19th-century industrial heritage and its concentration of cast-iron architecture. Originally farmland in the 17th century, the area transitioned into a residential neighborhood by the early 1800s before evolving into a commercial and manufacturing center during the mid-to-late 19th century. The neighborhood contains the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District.
