Little Egypt was an African-American community in Texas founded after the Civil War and continuing until the sale of the land in 1962. The neighborhood was located within Dallas city limits, north of Northwest Highway. It was about thirty-five acres in size. The land currently has large homes and the Northlake Shopping Center. Students from Richland College have been working on a project to discover what happened to the families after they left Little Egypt. Professors, Clive Siegle and Tim Sullivan of Richland, are conducting an archeological survey of the footprints of two of the Little Egypt houses on an empty lot in the area. Siegle has found a few artifacts on the site. Siegle would like to document oral history from those who once lived in the town.
