Barber โ€” sit on a dense historic street grid. Parkridge has long been noted for its racial and economic diversity relative to other historic Knoxville districts. ## History The area was originally known as Shieldstown before becoming part of Park City, an independent municipality from 1907 until its 1917 annexation by Knoxville. Standard Knitting Mills, once the neighborhood's dominant employer with more than 3,000 workers, operated nearby until its 1989 closure; the Parkridge Community Organization has led ongoing historic preservation and revitalization efforts since the 1980s.
