Originally a series of farms and estates, it was first known as Manchester Grounds, as the area's land was reportedly purchased by a company of landowners from Manchester, New Hampshire soon after Holyoke was first chartered, in 1852. However while this name persisted for much of the 19th century, these holders would default on their estates by 1856.[3] The area was further divided into new building lots in the 1870s and saw considerable development as a streetcar suburb when the Holyoke Street Railway completed an extension to the area in 1886.[4][5][6] By 1897 the neighborhood had been christened its present name for its higher elevation at the foot of the Mount Tom Range.[7] Today the neighborhood contains many historic Victorian houses and about {{convert|400|acre|ha}} of predominantly residential zoning with some commercial development, as well as the Kennedy and Morgan Street Parks.[1][3] References{{Commons category}}1. ^1 Spatial analysis of {{cite web|url=http://www.holyoke.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/neighborhoods.pdf|title=Holyoke Neighborhoods|accessdate=3 Jun 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170802205322/http://www.holyoke.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/neighborhoods.pdf|archive-date= 8 August 2017}} {{Holyoke, Massachusetts}}{{HampdenCountyMA-geo-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite gnis|id=609019|name=Highlands, Holyoke, Massachusetts|accessdate=3 Jun 2016}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://mhc-macris.net/Details.aspx?MhcId=HLY.A|title=MACRIS inventory record for Highlands, Holyoke|publisher=Commonwealth of Massachusetts|accessdate=2014-06-18}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=Holyoke's Fine Trolly System; Its Expansion From a Two-Mile Horse Car Line in 1884 to Its Present Great Proportions|date=September 2, 1923|page=37|location=Springfield, Mass.}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Holyoke|date=December 18, 1874|page=6|work=Springfield Republican|location=Springfield, Mass.|quote=The acceptance of Allyn's new streets on Manchester grounds has been postponed until spring to allow of further grading on Pearl street.
