Beginning in 2000, the Eighth District Empowerment Congress began working on the "Naming Neighborhoods Project" to identify and name the communities with the neighborhood council area.

The names were submitted to City Council in October 2001 and approved in February 2002. [7]
Because the neighborhood is within two different council districts, [8] a motion was made in November 2002 to "delete" the area named as Crenshaw Manor. [9]
In November 2004, citing that "the stakeholders in the area have continued to express their support of the designation of Crenshaw Manor", the motion was amended and the designation of Crenshaw Manor was restored. [10]
