Phillips West
On April 29, 2005, the City Council approved establishing Phillips West. Phillips West occupies the western part of the former Phillips neighborhood, delineated by Chicago Avenue and 22nd Street. Phillips is a diverse area in many ways: its population includes people of many nationalities; it has a mix of residential, commercial and industrial uses; and it is home to several large employers. The neighborhood and its junior high school take their names from Wendell Phillips, a 19 th century abolitionist.
