Morris Avenue was named after Josiah Morris, the major shareholder in the Elyton Land Company that was organized in 1870 to buy land and sell lots to develop a new city -- Birmingham, Alabama. Running parallel to the Alabama and Chattanooga Rail Line, Morris Avenue became a prime location for warehouses and other commercial buildings in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Today, the renovated building of the historic portion of Morris Avenue (2000 – 2400 blocks) house a variety of professional offices.
