During the Harlem Renaissance, which spanned from the 1910s to the mid-1930s, Harlem saw a significant influx of African Americans migrating from the South, as well as from other urban centers. It is estimated that around 175,000 to 200,000 people moved to Harlem during this period, seeking better economic opportunities and a vibrant cultural environment. This migration contributed to the area becoming a cultural epicenter for African American art, literature, and music.
