Named after George Washington Carver, during the decades after the Civil War, Richmond's historic Carver neighborhood was the home of many emancipated African-Americans. Over the years, many prominent Richmond churches and businesses have also laid down roots in Carver, a neighborhood named after George Washington Carver.

Sadly, by the mid-1970s, Carver fell into decline.

However, in 1986 the Richmond City Council designated Carver a redevelopment and conservation area and approved RRHA's Conservation and Redevelopment Plan for Carver, a comprehensive plan to eliminate dilapidated housing, rehabilitate substandard housing, and build affordable housing.
