A strong spirit of community permeates the Historic King Drive area. Known today as the Harambee neighborhood, this tight-knit community is rich in history and culture.
"Harambee" is a Swahili word
for "pulling together." The neighborhood draws its unique character from its historic homes, strong churches, and over 20,000 residents who have been pulling together since the mid 1800s to make the area a great place
for their families.
Quality schools, a good park system and numerous attractions further contribute to making Harambee such a dynamic community. Residents here have plenty of discretionary income to take advantage of a wealth of recreational opportunities.
There are several proactive neighborhood groups which meet periodically to discuss ways to improve the quality of life in the greater Harambee area. If you are interesting in joining the one nearest you, please contact the appropriate group below.
To learn how you can start your own successful neighborhood association or block watch, contact the District 5 Community Liaison Officer, Ray Robakowski, at 414-935-7258.
