  Starting in the year of 1884, when Robert S. Munger built the first cotton factory in Deep Ellum, until today, Deep Ellum has been a place full of history and entertainment.throw the pass of the years Deep Ellum have develop in many ways, like the Art,urban life,and historie.In the year of 1913 Henrrie Ford opened a regional assembly plant that helped in the growth of Deep Ellum, 1920 Huddie Leadbelly began performing in 1930 Deep Ellum became Mecca for Jazz. From the years of 1940 until 1950, Deep Ellum became to decline very badly because of the Dallas suburbs,this meaning thar all the people living in Deep Ellum moved outside of the bigDeep Ellum, since people were looking for more calm places they moved to cities like mckiney, garland,and richardson, but in the year of 1969 the Central Expressway eliminated the 2400 block of Elm, and gave a change to Deep Ellum becoming the center of the community.
