A little history
Westview takes its name from Westview Cemetery, which opened in 1884. A streetcar line was extended along what is now Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard to the cemetery gate, and the neighborhood grew along it in the early 1900s. Today an active neighborhood organization cares for its triangle parks and works on preservation and community projects.
