History

The community is named for former President Theodore Roosevelt, but was also known as Greenwich and Rum Point for a time before that. While Roosevelt once had a predominantly-white population, white flight and real estate blockbusting became a major issue during the postwar housing boom in the 1950s and 1960s, when the community saw an influx of African-American residents.
