The East Bottoms is a historic industrial and commercial district, renamed Northeast Industrial District (NEID), in Kansas City, Missouri. It occupies a large alluvial floodplain shaped by the confluence of the Missouri River, which forms its northern border, and the Blue River, which forms its eastern border. Geographically isolated by high bluffs surrounding major rivers and riverbottoms, the area's history is defined by cycles of settlement, destruction by flood, and engineered reinvention. Its permanent settlement by Americans began in 1826 as French Bottoms, a vibrant fur trader settlement of intermarried French Creole and native Osage. French Bottoms was soon completely erased from the landscape by the Great Flood of 1844, so i+n 1850, Kansas, Missouri, was legally incorporated to include the former French Bottoms and rename this part of it "East Bottoms". Kansas became Kansas City, with East Bottoms as its historical point of origin. The riverbottoms was remade as an industrial heartland, driven by the expansion of the railroads into a hub for heavy manufacturing, breweries, and grain elevators. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, East Bottoms hosted the innovative Heim Electric Park and became a streetcar suburb. Catastrophic floods, particularly the Great Flood of 1951 and 1993, prompted a massive federal response from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which encased the district in an extensive system of levees and floodwalls. The modern rehabilitation of East Bottoms has spanned the late 20th and the 21st centuries, renaming it NEID. One century of industrial domination necessitated large-scale remediation efforts, including of significant pollution of the Blue River. Adaptive reuse of its monumental brick warehouses and factories began transforming some into popular destinations like the historically preserved J. Rieger & Co. Distillery and the Knuckleheads Saloon music venue, and restoring some identity as a cultural and entertainment spot. That residential enclave of a few hundred people and retail destination are dwarfed within NEID's vast landscape of factories, warehouses, public utility plants, railroads, and rivers.

Pendleton Heights is a historic neighborhood in Kansas City, Missouri, United States. It is near the downtown highway loop, between Paseo and Chestnut Trafficway to the west and east, and Independence Avenue and Cliff Drive to the south and north. As a historic district of Kansas City, Pendleton Heights is the second oldest specifically residentially-designed neighborhood, after Quality Hill. It is Kansas City's first developed suburb, platted in the late nineteenth century from what had been the 200-acre (0.81 km2) Jones Farm. The neighborhood has three city parks (North Terrace Park, Independence Plaza Park, and Maple Park), the original city reservoir, one of the two nationally listed urban scenic byways, and the largest number of true Victorian homes in the city. Architectural styles include "Traditional Victorian", American Craftsman, American Foursquare, Italianate, Eastlake, Shingle-Style, Richardsonian Romanesque, "Folk Victorian", "Kansas City Shirtwaist", Beaux Arts, and grand Queen Anne.

Chappell house at 1836 Pendleton Avenue entered the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. The Pendleton Heights Community Garden was launched in early 2013. This project is in partnership with PHNA, Kansas City Community Gardens, and MU Extension. Residents can lease plots for personal gardening or can work in community plots in exchange for a share of the harvest. In 2013, PHNA and KC Parks & Recreation planned an orchard on the vacant lot at Lexington and Montgall, to provide fresh fruit and nuts. The selected tree varieties have been grown in Northeast Kansas City since 1860, including peach, apple, fig, pecan, pawpaw, and serviceberry. Jerusalem Farm is a Catholic intentional community, offering weekly residential curbside composting. Schools include Scuola Vita Nuova Charter School, Garfield Elementary School, and Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences.

It was located at 15th & Montgall from 1888 to 1902 in the 18th and Vine-Downtown East, Kansas City neighborhood. It was on the grounds of the Kansas City exposition park which had opened in 1886 between 12th and 15th Street on Kansas Street—the center piece of which was an 80,000 square foot building modeled on The Crystal Palace until it was destroyed in 1901 in a fire that had occurred just a week after plans were announced to dismantle it. The exact location and orientation of the ballpark, per Sanborn maps, was East 15th Street (now Truman Avenue) (south, first base); the imaginary line of Montgall Avenue (west, third base) + Prospect Avenue (farther west); the imaginary line of East 14th Street + Exposition Driving Park (north, left field); buildings and Kansas Avenue (east, right field). The first football game between Kansas and Missouri was played here on October 31, 1891 (Kansas beat Missouri 22-8 before a crowd of about 3,000).
