History

The neighborhood was developed and named for Conrad Frederick Sauer, founder of the nearby C. F. Sauer Company, whose headquarters is located down the street. Originally workers who worked at Sauer lived in the company neighborhood.

Development of the neighborhood began in the 1920s, and was originally focused around a large garden property, which included a fountain, lake and an "artificial mountain". The garden later went into disrepair and was torn down in the 1980s.[1]
