How did Deep Ellum come by Deep Ellum?

"How did Deep Ellum come by Deep Ellum?"
It was "lower" Elm Street, the Swiss/German business district (Rudolh's Meat market being the last surviving Kraut business there today). The Heinies were very tolerant of Blacks, and catered to their business. African-Americans soon established their own businesses along lower Elm Street... hence "Deep" Elm (or "Ellum") Street.
