No neighborhood showed more signs of Native American presence than Layton Park. Over centuries, local tribes cleared land near present-day 27th Street and Forest Home Avenue. White settlers called the clearing "Indians Fields," which featured more than 50 effigy mounds and extensive plantings of corn. The neighborhood's name comes from Frederick Layton, meat-packing magnate who was also a leading local philanthropist, endowing Milwaukee's first public art gallery. Later a stronghold of the Polish and German working class, Layton Park is a largely Latino neighborhood today.
