| The area that includes the block at 116th Street between Frederick Douglass Blvd. and Adam Clayton Powell Blvd. is known by the city government as the Harlem Gateway. But some in the area are beginning to call it Little Senegal because of the growing number of immigrants from Senegal and other African countries who have settled there. The area has at least nine African-owned businesses in the block. |
