E JOHNSON & SEVENTH (EB)
J Caleb Haugen: This area was originally developed in the 1920′s, after Madison’s Central Marsh was drained and land became available for houses for workers in nearby factories, including Oscar Mayer’s and the French Battery Company. Housing includes a mix of owner-occupied and rental housing. The area covered by the Emerson East Neighborhood Association includes about 2100 people in about 1000 houses and apartment units. Housing is still affordable in the Emerson East neighborhood, and our neighborhood is safe, friendly, and diversified. #EmersonEast
