June 2, 2025 In March of 2020, historian Nicole Martinez-LeGrand published an article on the Indiana Historical Society’s blog, titled The Lost Barrio of Indianapolis. The story shared the history of a small community of Mexican immigrants living on the east side of downtown Indianapolis during the mid-20th Century.
