Poplar Springs Road Historic District is a historic district in Meridian, Mississippi. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 21, 1987. It is a collection of residences representing the prosperity of Meridian at the turn of the 20th century and pre-Depression era. The district developed around Poplar Springs Road (later Poplar Springs Drive), which at the time was a winding country road leading into the north side of the city. Besides the laying out of the streets and plots, hills were cut down and hollows filled. Hundreds of shade trees were planted and still contribute to the streetscape of the Poplar Springs Historic District. [ [http://www.meridianms.org/com_historicneighbor.html City of Meridian, MS - Historic Neighborhoods] ] The district is rectangular, bounded by 29th St, 23rd Ave, 22nd St, and 29th Ave.
