Capitol Court Development
Federal land survey maps from the 1830s show two streams running through the area that drained into “Mud Creek” later named Lincoln Creek.
Prior to residential development of farm fields in the 1940s streams still cut across the agricultural land north of Capitol Drive.
In 1953 some 84 acres were developed for the Capitol Court (later Midtown Center) shopping center; topsoil was replaced with paved lots.
