Little Egypt was an African-American community in Texas which was founded after the Civil War and continued until the sale of the land in 1962. The roughly thirty-five acre neighborhood was located within Dallas city limits, north of Northwest Highway.[1][2] Large homes and the Northlake Shopping Center currently occupy the site.[1] Professors Clive Siegle and Tim Sullivan of Richland College led a project to discover what happened to the families after they left Little Egypt.[3] Some of the original settlers were tracked to an neglected and vandalized cemetery in the area. The project also included an archeological survey of the only lot that had not been built over since the two houses that once there were bulldozed away.[4] Siegle has found a few artifacts on the site.
