Originally a suburb, Avondale was annexed in 1896. The neighborhood became a majority Jewish neighborhood in the early 20th century, and then became a majority African American community mid-century as a result of urban renewal projects. Two race riots began in Avondale in 1967 and 1968, which were part of the larger Civil Rights Movement and Black Power movement in the United States.

The neighborhood is bordered by North Avondale, Evanston, Walnut Hills, Corryville, and Clifton.
