A Look at Wyndham Hills' History

When Wyndham Hills was first planned in 1931, there were some rules put in place for the homes. These rules are called "covenants."

Understanding Old Rules: Covenants

In the past, some communities had rules that were not fair. For example, the original plan for Wyndham Hills included a rule that said certain people could not own or live in homes there because of their race. This rule specifically mentioned "negro" people and "Mongolian" people (which was a term used back then for people of Asian descent).

However, it's important to know that these unfair rules are no longer allowed or followed today. While some other original rules for the community might still be in place, the ones based on race are not. Laws have changed to make sure everyone has a fair chance to live where they choose.
