The historic Los Robles subdivision, just east of Lake Ella and adjoining midtown, was developed beginning in the 1920s and began a trend of expansion to the north of downtown. The 37-acre parcel is a triangular tract that was an early planned community of approximately 100 homes.^[3]

Los Robles is Spanish for "The Oak Trees" named after the centuries-old live oaks throughout the neighborhood. The streets have Spanish names and some of the houses feature Spanish-style architecture including stucco exteriors and ceramic roof tiles.^[3]

After decades of neglect the gate underwent a $150,000 restoration in 2006, with a steel structural arch and new Ludowici tiles.^[4]
